2011 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · DAZ 5035

The Volkswagen Caddy presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 30 August 2025 at 194,627 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA data shows no defects logged at any test, though the same-day fail and pass on 30 August 2025, and the identical pattern on 11 September 2024 with a fail at 188,842 miles and pass at 188,845 miles, indicate administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. No worsening faults or recurring advisories emerge from the record. Mileage stands at 194,627 against a 2011 build, equating to roughly 12,975 miles per year and confirming heavy use for the age. The odometer moved from 181,463 at the 17 August 2023 test to 188,845 by 11 September 2024, then to 194,627 by August 2025, a steady accumulation of around 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually. The clean test sheets across these dates suggest the previous operators kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse record leaves suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion unverified by the tester. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the high mileage and fifteen years of service. Brake discs, calipers, and suspension arms warrant hands-on checks despite no MOT advisories. The same-day fail-pass cycles imply the vehicle entered tests uncleared on paperwork; verify the V5C and service history to confirm genuine upkeep rather than test evasion.
