2010 Volkswagen Caddy 1.7L Diesel · AV60 OCN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 121,117 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred on 18 June 2024, the immediate re-test two days later suggests a specific, easily rectifiable issue that was promptly addressed rather than a pattern of systemic mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,570 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the vehicle covered 12,328 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The 7,718-mile gap between the June 2024 and May 2025 tests reflects a period of lower activity, which is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and braking components as it prevents the buildup of corrosion and the degradation of rubber seals associated with long periods of standing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as older Volkswagen Caddy models are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Although the record shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should also verify fluid leaks and the condition of the brake discs to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying oxidation or seizing.
