2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · CX67 WFP

The Volkswagen Caddy’s most recent MOT test on 31 October 2025 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 65,349 miles. The consistent pass history over five consecutive tests—spanning from October 2021 to October 2025—indicates a stable maintenance pattern without recurring mechanical failures. While the absence of advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been reliably serviced, the most recent test was conducted just nine months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle approaching its sixth year of service. Buyers should verify whether the current owner has adhered to manufacturer-recommended service intervals, particularly for components like timing belts, fuel filters, and suspension bushes, which may now require attention. The recorded mileage of 65,349 miles over nine years aligns closely with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 7,261 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation between tests, as each interval spans approximately 3,000–3,500 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods, which could otherwise accelerate corrosion or suspension degradation. However, the lack of mileage gaps also implies the owner may not have undertaken long-distance trips where wear on high-stress components—such as drivetrain seals or exhaust systems—might be more evident. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity and brake condition. At this mileage, Volkswagen Caddys often exhibit wear in rear suspension bushes, particularly the trailing arms or panhard links, which can lead to uneven tyre wear or a stiff ride. The brakes, while not flagged in past tests, should be scrutinised for uneven disc thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for mixed urban and light commercial loads. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as the Caddy’s van bodywork is prone to rust progression in wet conditions. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive sagging, as catalytic converter failures or cracked pipes can occur without prior MOT detection.
