2012 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · AF12 WRK

The 2012 Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass at the most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 227,017 miles. The maintenance trend is steady and resolving, as the vehicle cleared every annual examination without a single advisory or defect across the full recorded history from February 2022 through to July 2025. Mileage stands at 227,017 against a 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 16,216 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The records show consistent annual accumulation: 166,212 miles in February 2022, 184,636 by June 2023, 204,952 by July 2024, and 227,017 by July 2025. A gap exists between the February 2022 and June 2023 tests exceeding the standard twelve-month cycle, though the car still passed. The sparse, defect-free data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the sills, chassis legs, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record omits advisories that might otherwise flag early rust. At this mileage the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry substantial fatigue even if the tester raised no concerns. Verify the service history matches the odometer and confirm cambelt interval compliance, since high annual use accelerates drivetrain wear invisible to a visual MOT. The clean record implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but physical verification of tyre sidewall condition and underbody rust remains prudent before purchase.
