2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · DB56 DUB

The 2018 Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 March 2026 at 140,196 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful annual tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination since March 2023 without mechanical or structural concerns raised by DVSA testers. Mileage stands at 140,196 against an eight-year lifespan, averaging 17,524 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained hard use. Records show 110,773 miles on 15 March 2023, rising to 129,539 by 6 March 2024, then 135,032 on 10 March 2025 and 140,196 on 21 March 2026. The annual increments of roughly 19,000, 5,500, and 5,000 miles reveal front-loaded motorway or delivery work that has since eased. The sparse, clean history gives little cause for alarm beyond expected wear from distance covered. A single failure on 5 March 2024 at 129,539 miles preceded the pass one day later, with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests an administrative or test-process anomaly rather than a repairs gap, though a buyer should confirm with the seller what triggered the reversal. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or corrosion appear across the record. Given the high total mileage, a buyer should still inspect in person for tired suspension components, worn drivetrain mounts, and exhaust emissions integrity not always caught in a pass. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition as consumables, and verify service history to corroborate the easing mileage pattern. The Caddy's documented MOT trail implies disciplined annual testing rather than deferred upkeep.
