2020 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · CX70 OJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 53,792 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple safety defects involving tyres and suspension components. The trend shows that mechanical issues, specifically regarding worn brake discs and distorted rims, have been flagged across multiple years without being addressed, indicating that the owner only repairs faults when they result in an MOT failure. The mileage data presents a significant discrepancy that requires immediate investigation. In September 2024, the vehicle recorded 72,962 miles, yet by September 2025, the mileage was recorded at only 53,792 miles. This retrospective drop of nearly 20,000 miles within one year strongly suggests an odometer rollback or a serious data entry error. Excluding this anomaly, the average usage of approximately 9,000 miles per year is typical for a six-year-old commercial vehicle, but the inconsistency in recorded figures undermines the reliability of the entire service history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The nearside front road wheel has been flagged for having a distorted inner rim since at least 2023, which can cause vibrations and lead to premature wear on steering components. The rear anti-roll bar bushes were noted as excessively worn in 2025, so these should be checked for play to ensure they were actually replaced. Furthermore, because brake discs have been described as worn and lipped in both 2024 and 2025, the current thickness of the rotors should be measured to ensure they are not nearing the minimum legal limit.
