2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · AF17 CYC

The 2017 Volkswagen Caddy presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 19 October 2025 at 127,982 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its most recent test with no defects logged, and prior annual examinations in October 2024 at 120,805 miles and October 2023 at 107,607 miles also returned passes with no advisories. The owner addressed a failed test on 8 October 2025 at 127,950 miles by securing a pass eleven days later, though the failure entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred in October 2023 when the van failed on 18 October and passed the next day with identical mileage and no defects noted. The recorded mileage of 127,982 over roughly nine years equates to about 14,220 miles per year, which sits high for a light commercial of this age and points to consistent hard use. Annual accumulation held steady at approximately 13,000 to 14,000 miles between 2023 and 2025, with the jump from 107,607 to 120,805 miles across 2023 to 2024 and then to 127,982 by late 2025 showing no standing periods or abrupt spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, offering only pass and anomaly fail entries with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high annual mileage and winter salt exposure typical for a Caddy. The clean record provides no flag on binding calipers, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, yet the twin fail-pass pairs at identical mileages suggest the keeper may have presented the van without resolving minor test-centre queries. Verify the 8 October 2025 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the blank defect field offers no technical detail for the eleven-day reversal.
