2013 Volkswagen Caddy C20 TDI 102 Heavy oil · DA13 AAY

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in the last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-15 inspection at 108,260 miles. The 2024-02-22 and 2022-12-07 tests also showed no issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a 2020-01-06 failure occurred at 59,557 miles, though no defects were logged, leaving the cause unspecified. This indicates a potential past concern, but the absence of recurring issues in subsequent tests implies resolution. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,328 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the 2020-01-09 test (59,594 miles) and 2022-12-07 (92,075 miles), reflecting a 32,481-mile increase over 2 years and 1 month, which may suggest periods of heavy use or infrequent MOTs. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with 9,798 miles added between 2022 and 2024, and 6,387 miles between 2024 and 2025. This pattern does not reveal immediate wear risks but warrants scrutiny of components likely affected by extended inactivity or sudden mileage spikes. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly given the 2020 failure’s unresolved nature, and check for corrosion in the underbody, which can develop during prolonged inactivity. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be examined for uneven wear, as sudden mileage increases may stress these parts. While recent MOTs show no issues, the 2020 failure highlights the importance of verifying service history and ensuring no unresolved mechanical or structural concerns persist.
