2007 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · AD57 AFK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 149,265 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the results seen back to 2021. This stability suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to repairs, addressing mechanical and safety issues before they could trigger an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,856 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 23,181 miles, representing a steady annual run of roughly 5,800 to 6,000 miles. This regular usage indicates the van has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to accelerated degradation of seals, hoses, and brake components in older light-commercial vehicles. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a buyer must still focus a physical inspection on common wear points for a Volkswagen Caddy of this era. The inspection should prioritize checking structural integrity for corrosion, particularly along the sills, mounting points, and exhaust system, where rust often develops undetected between test cycles. Given the age and mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for signs of perished rubber or fatigue, as these components do not always trigger a failure until they reach a state of advanced play.
