2022 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi C20 TSI 1.5L Petrol · AF14 EMM

The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 January 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all current DVSA safety and environmental standards. For a vehicle of this age, a clean MOT history is a positive indicator of its mechanical integrity and suggests that no significant structural or safety issues were identified during the inspection process. The recorded mileage of 37,195 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 9,300 miles. This is a very typical usage pattern for a Volkswagen Caddy, suggesting that the vehicle has been used regularly enough to prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or fluid degradation, but has not been subjected to the heavy wear and tear associated with high-mileage commercial applications. This moderate mileage profile means that while consumable items like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components will show expected wear, they should not be nearing the end of their functional life. As the MOT record is currently clear of any reported issues, your physical inspection should focus on age-related maintenance and preventative checks. Examine the tyres thoroughly for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can degrade over time regardless of tread depth. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes or coil springs, and monitor the braking performance for any shuddering or pulling, which may suggest warped discs or binding calipers. It is also prudent to check the condition of the brake discs for excessive corrosion or uneven wear patterns. Finally, ensure that the service history is documented and up to date, paying particular attention to time-based intervals rather than just mileage. Fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant should be replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule to prevent internal degradation. You should also inspect the 12V battery for any signs of terminal corrosion and verify its health, as battery capacity can diminish over a four-year period. A thorough check of the engine bay for any signs of weeping from gaskets or seals will also help confirm that the vehicle's mechanical condition matches its clean MOT history.
