2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · DA62 JDX

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 23 September 2025 at 144,989 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or recorded mechanical faults at any stage, indicating the vehicle has cleared each successful test without flagged wear to brakes, suspension, or structure. Mileage has accumulated in a typical pattern for a 2013 van, rising from 128,708 miles at the 15 September 2023 failure to 137,139 miles by 24 September 2024, then 144,989 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,400 miles per year across the recorded window, below the lifetime average of 11,153 and suggesting lighter recent use. The record is sparse but clean, with only two failed tests logged and neither citing any defect. The September 2023 and September 2025 failures both list zero defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical condition. A buyer should still confirm the body and chassis for corrosion, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related fatigue, and verify brake disc and caliper condition, as a 13-year-old Caddy at near 145,000 miles will have consumable wear not captured by a defect-free MOT sheet. Given the absence of advisories across four passed tests, prior owners appear to have kept the van to a basic pass standard without neglected items escalating. Inspect tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, and request service records to corroborate that routine oil and belt intervals were met alongside the clean MOT trail.
