2006 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · AX56 TXA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the last three years of MOT history. Following an initial failure in early January 2020 at 203,169 miles, the car passed three consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test on 19 January 2023 at 246,762 miles returned a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle maintained its mechanical integrity during the final recorded period. However, as the last MOT was conducted over three years ago, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and requires immediate testing. The mileage data reflects a consistent high-intensity usage pattern, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per annum. Between January 2021 and January 2022, the vehicle covered 16,108 miles, while the interval between 2022 and 2023 saw 12,142 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle was used regularly for work or long commuting rather than sitting for long periods. The total distance of 246,762 miles on a 20-year-old chassis places significant strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings, despite the clean test sheets recently. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as corrosion is common on this generation of Volkswagen Caddy. Given the high mileage, checking for excessive play in the suspension, worn coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs and calipers is essential. Because no advisories were noted in 2023, there is a high probability that consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades have degraded significantly since the last check. Inspect the engine for oil leaks and exhaust smoke to ensure the high-mileage history has not led to terminal mechanical wear.
