2016 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · DL66 GNO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing an improving maintenance trend regarding mechanical compliance. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 19,975 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This marks a positive shift from previous years where minor equipment failures caused immediate failures, suggesting the current owner has addressed identified faults and is now maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 13,785 miles and October 2024 at 16,796 miles, the vehicle covered just 3,011 miles, followed by another 3,179 miles prior to the October 2025 test. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension components, such long intervals between use often indicate the car has sat for extended periods, which can lead to dry rot in rubber seals or seized brake calipers and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the windscreen washer system, which caused failures in both 2023 and 2024. Although these are now rectified, the recurring nature of the fault suggests the pump or pipework may be neglected. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles are not driven regularly. Additionally, check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as the age of the rubber often exceeds the tread depth on low-mile vehicles of this era.
