2016 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · DC66 UBV

The 2016 Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 63,754 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. A single failure on 22 July 2024 at 58,712 miles shows no defects listed, with the vehicle passing the next day on 23 July 2024 at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 63,754 miles against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,375 miles per year and reflecting light, typical use for this model. The odometer advanced from 49,626 miles in July 2022 to 54,220 in July 2023, then 58,712 in July 2024, and 63,754 in July 2025, a consistent annual increment near 4,500 to 5,100 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean record across all entries gives sparse but reassuring evidence of routine testing and low mechanical strain. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the limits of an MOT pass that records no advisories. The 2024 same-mileage fail-pass sequence warrants confirmation that no latent issue such as a binding caliper or emissions fault was masked by a rushed retest. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked, as a clean MOT history does not exempt a 2016 van from rust where road salt exposure occurred.
