2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · DL17 AAF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 119,712 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or procedural error. Earlier tests in 2025 and 2024 also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are documented in the history, implying consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 119,712 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 13,301 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The MOT intervals—approximately 12–14 months apart—are standard, but the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into gradual deterioration. The absence of advisories or failures in recent tests does not confirm mechanical integrity, as high-mileage vehicles often require closer scrutiny of consumables and drivetrain components. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. The high mileage warrants verification of service history for oil changes, brake fluid replacements, and tyre rotations. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern and age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm that no hidden issues were overlooked during testing.
