2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.7L Diesel · DL12 AAF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test on 31 December 2025 at 166,672 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the owner has addressed potential issues before they reached the threshold of the DVSA testing criteria. The trend remains exceptionally stable, showing no signs of recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating structural condition over time. At 166,672 miles, the 14-year-old Caddy has averaged approximately 11,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent annual mileage without significant gaps or spikes. Between December 2024 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 8,945 miles, while the period between late 2023 and late 2024 saw a lower accumulation of 4,419 miles. This regularity indicates the vehicle is regularly used rather than left to sit for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and corrosion build-up in braking components. While the digital history is flawless, a physical inspection must focus on high-mileage wear that does not always trigger MOT failures. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as these are often the first points of failure on Caddys after exceeding 150,000 miles. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for surface corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential to ensure no hidden structural rust is developing that the tester might have missed.
