2015 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · AF15 BVD

The 2015 Volkswagen Caddy presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 17 September 2025 at 154,560 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in September 2024 at 146,774 miles and September 2023 at 138,037 miles also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening mechanical faults across the observed period. The recorded mileage of 154,560 over roughly eleven years equates to about 14,051 miles per year, which sits high for a light commercial vehicle of this age and implies sustained use with corresponding consumable and drivetrain wear. The gap between the 27 October 2022 test at 137,785 miles and the 18 September 2023 test at 138,037 miles shows only 252 miles accrued in nearly eleven months, suggesting the vehicle stood idle or covered minimal distance in that window. A failed test on 13 September 2023 at 138,013 miles preceded the passing retest five days later, though the record lists no defects against either entry, which limits diagnostic clarity on the nature of that failure. Given the sparse advisory data and clean recent passes, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as high annual mileage accelerates underbody degradation not always captured in a pass result. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement for wear, given the vehicle's age and standing period in late 2022 to 2023 that can promote seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. The absence of recorded advisories across four passes does not negate the need for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment. The unexplained September 2023 failure justifies scrutiny of the retest documentation and a check for any omitted minor defects such as wiper blades or exhaust emissions tolerances at that mileage.
