Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage. While the recent MOT history is clean, the vehicle's usage suggests significant wear-and-tear that requires a thorough mechanical inspection.
The primary focus for this vehicle should be the service history. With the mileage exceeding 145,000 miles, you need to verify that major items such as the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer intervals. Ask the seller for evidence of regular oil changes, as consistent maintenance is vital for the longevity of the TDI engine variant.
Given the high mileage, negotiate the price based on the potential for upcoming expensive maintenance on wear parts. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine or wear on the clutch and flywheel assembly, as these are common issues on high-mileage vans that are not captured in an MOT test.
The 1.6cc diesel engine generally offers decent fuel economy for long journeys, though efficiency may drop if the vehicle is heavily loaded. Expect mid-range insurance groups and typical tax bands for a diesel van of this era, depending on your personal profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than a lower-mileage example due to the inevitable degradation of suspension components, brakes, and exhaust parts. You should budget for annual servicing and a contingency fund for unexpected repairs associated with a high-mileage commercial vehicle.
While the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows no defects, this only reflects the state of the vehicle at the time of testing. Manually inspect the chassis for rust, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, which is common on older models. Pay close attention to the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Test drive the vehicle to listen for unusual noises from the turbo or vibrations through the gearbox. Since the last MOT was at 145,207 miles, check the condition of the suspension bushings and shocks for leaks or play, as these are high-wear items that often fail at this mileage.
This 2014 Volkswagen Caddy has covered over 145,000 miles, which is significantly above the UK average for its age. However, it has consistently passed its last four annual MOT tests without any recorded defects or advisories, indicating it has met basic road-worthiness standards in recent years. The 1.6L diesel engine is a common workhorse, but the high mileage means components may be nearing the end of life.
The 1.6 TDI engine is generally considered robust but can be prone to injector or DPF issues if used primarily for short trips.
