Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for those need
Potential buyers should focus on the advisories from the October 2025 MOT. The mention of worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, along with tyres worn close to the legal limit, suggests a need for immediate expenditure on the front end of the vehicle. Use these specific data points to negotiate the purchase price.
Verify the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.9L diesel engine. Ensure that any work mentioned in the most recent MOT advisories has been addressed before taking delivery of the vehicle.
The 1.9L diesel engine is known for its efficiency, though fuel costs will vary based on usage. Tax and insurance groups for a 2009 Caddy are generally moderate, but the vehicle's age and diesel fuel type may impact costs in certain low-emission zones.
Maintenance costs are likely to increase given the current mileage of 138,751. The recent MOT advisories regarding suspension and tyres indicate that wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their lifespan, which should be factored into the annual budget.
Prioritise an inspection of the front suspension; the MOT history specifically notes worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Check the current tread depth of the front tyres, as they were recorded as being close to the legal limit in October 2025.
Additionally, check the rear of the vehicle to see if the rear heatshield, which was noted as insecure in the last test, has been properly fixed. A general check for diesel-specific issues such as exhaust soot or leaks is advised given the vehicle's age and mileage.
This 2009 white Volkswagen Caddy, powered by a 1.9L diesel engine, has recorded 138,751 miles. It has passed its last four MOT tests between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in October 2025 flagged multiple advisories. It presents as a high-mileage example of the model with a documented history of passing its annual tests.
