2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · BT14 HFD

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-15 recorded a pass at 134,328 miles, with only one minor defect: the offside rear inner anti-roll bar pin or bush worn but not causing excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i)). This issue was also noted in the previous failure on 2025-07-11, which occurred just four days earlier at 134,183 miles. The failure included critical issues : rear brake pads below 1.5 mm (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), non-conforming registration plates (0.1 (d)), and the same anti-roll bar defect. The rapid turnaround between failure and pass suggests the brake pads and registration plates were likely addressed, but the anti-roll bar issue persisted. The recurring anti-roll bar defect appears to be a persistent but non-critical concern. It was first recorded in 2022 (at 113,844 miles) as a "worn close to legal limit" tyre issue, then again in 2025. While the 2025 pass did not classify it as a defect, the repeated mention implies ongoing wear. No other major defects were recorded in the 2024 or 2023 MOTs, which were both passes with no issues . The 2022 MOT noted light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber (5.3.2 (b)) and a tyre worn on the inner edge (5.2.3 (e)), both minor but indicative of gradual wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 134,328 miles (12 years old) equates to ~11,194 miles per year, which is typical for its age .
