2018 Volkswagen Caddy 1.4L Petrol · B8 LJE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 09 July 2025 at 46,682 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet maintained across the last five years indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without the recurring failures or progressive degradation often seen in older commercial vehicles. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old Volkswagen, averaging approximately 5,835 miles per year. Data shows a significant plateau in usage between July 2021 at 44,981 miles and July 2022 at 45,150 miles, where only 169 miles were covered in a full year. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly 1,532 miles over the last three years. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and braking system, though it also raises the possibility of aging in rubber components and fluid degradation due to infrequent use. Given the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components most likely affected by age rather than distance travelled. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of perishing or cracking which can occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized calipers. Additionally, a structural integrity check of the chassis and sills should be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed despite the pristine low mileage history.
