2010 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · CY10 GUU

The 2010 Volkswagen Caddy presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 30 April 2025 at 297,449 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing four consecutive passes from April 2022 through April 2025 with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The duplicate 30 April 2025 entry, one fail with no defects then a pass on the same day, reflects an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Mileage stands at 297,449 against a 16-year lifespan, an average of roughly 18,591 miles per year and firmly high for the age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 229,059 miles in April 2022, 245,032 in April 2023, 268,272 in April 2024, and 297,449 in April 2025. Annual increments of 16,000 to 29,000 miles indicate consistent hard commercial use. No gaps exist between tests, with each issued within a month of the prior year's date, suggesting the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across five years does not certify component health at 297,449 miles. The tester recorded no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, yet items such as coil springs, binding calipers, and structural integrity degrade with use and may simply have fallen under pass thresholds. A buyer should physically inspect front and rear suspension arms, check brake disc thickness and caliper slide movement, and examine sills and load floor for hidden rust. Given the high mileage and sparse defect history, confirm in person that the cambelt and clutch remain serviced, and scrutinise tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread wear. The record implies basic statutory compliance but offers no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the test bay.
