2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · DA55 TAX

The 2018 Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded at the 4 March 2026 test, showing 36,659 miles and no defects listed. Across the three available MOT entries the vehicle has never failed and has carried no advisories, indicating a consistent maintenance trend that is neither worsening nor resolving because no faults have emerged to address. The most recent examination found the suspension, braking system, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity all within acceptable limits. The recorded mileages trace a low-use pattern for an eight-year-old van. The 23 March 2022 test logged 28,178 miles, rising to 34,844 by 17 March 2023, then 36,659 at the March 2026 test. That equates to roughly 6,666 miles between 2022 and 2023, then only 1,815 miles across the following three years. Annual averages sit near 4,582 miles, well below typical light-commercial duty. The sparse history shows no rapid accumulation and no gap exceeding the single three-year lull before the latest certificate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Long standing periods implied by the low 2023 to 2026 mileage can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, subframes, and sills even when the tester noted none. Tyres and flexible suspension bushes may have aged through time rather than wear and could show perishing not captured on a pass with no advisories. Verify the documented mileages against service stamps and V5C to confirm the 2026 reading is genuine. Check underneath for structural rust and test the handbrake and calipers for binding after the vehicle has stood. The clean MOT trail suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but the sparse tests leave later-life component condition unverified.
