2006 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · BV06 HTF

Most recent MOT (2026‑05‑29) – The car passed, but the tester noted a front brake disc that is worn, pitted or scored, an off‑side front wing (OSF) showing corrosion, and a slight rattle from the front suspension. These are all advisory items rather than outright failures, but they point to components that are nearing the end of their service life. Recurring pattern – Two issues appear repeatedly: 1. The off‑side front drive‑shaft CV boot has been flagged as “severely deteriorated” in both 2024 and 2025. A failing CV boot can let grease escape and contaminants in, leading to joint failure if not replaced. The rear anti‑roll bar pin/bush has been recorded as worn (2023, 2024, 2025). While it has not yet caused excessive movement, the wear is cumulative and may soon affect handling stability. A one‑off front‑console bush split and a seat‑belt anchorage weakness were flagged in 2023, but no further comments have appeared since, suggesting those may have been remedied or are now below the reporting threshold. Trend – The MOT results are stable in the sense that the vehicle has not failed any recent test (the only failure was early 2023 and was addressed). However, the number of advisory items is increasing slightly, especially on the front suspension/brake side, indicating a gradual wear progression rather than an improving condition.
