2015 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · BP64 YCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension components. While it passed the most recent test in April 2026 at 139,454 miles, the failure just six miles prior highlights multiple mechanical wear issues. The tester identified excessively worn rear anti-roll bar bush mounts and a failed offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, indicating that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life. At 139,454 miles over 11 years, this Caddy has averaged approximately 12,700 miles per year. This reflects consistent commercial or high use rather than long periods of inactivity. Between April 2024 at 99,384 miles and May 2025 at 119,927 miles, the vehicle covered 20,500 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places significant stress on rubber components and drivetrain parts, which is evident in the recurring failures of suspension bushes and joints over short intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension. The 2026 record notes uneven tyre wear on the inner edges of all rear tyres and a borderline worn offside front tyre, which strongly suggests tracking alignment issues or worn bushings. The de-bonded rear bushes on the front suspension arms noted in 2025 and the subsequent ball joint failure in 2026 indicate that the front-end assembly requires immediate attention. Check for any further corrosion on the anti-roll bar and ensure the deteriorated registration plate has been replaced as per the previous failure.
