2022 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi C20 Commerce + TDI 2.0L Diesel · DN72 PCF

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 4 December 2025 recorded a full pass with no advisory or failure items noted. With only a single MOT entry available, the maintenance record appears neutral; there are no indications of recurring faults or a deteriorating trend, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a condition satisfactory enough to meet the statutory requirements at the time of testing. At just over twenty‑thousand miles after roughly four years on the road, the Caddy averages around 5,100 mi per annum. This is considerably below the typical usage pattern for a light commercial vehicle of this age, which often exceeds 8,000–10,000 mi per year. The low annual mileage points to either light loading duties or periods of prolonged inactivity. While reduced wear on drivetrain components, brakes and suspension is a benefit, it also raises the possibility of age‑related degradation of rubber and fluid seals that can occur even when the vehicle is not being driven. Given the low mileage and the likelihood of intermittent use, a prospective buyer should give particular attention to tyre condition, inspecting the sidewalls for any signs of cracking, dry‑rot or perishing that can develop with age regardless of tread wear. Verify that the tread depth is uniform and that there is no bulging or separation of the carcass. The 12 V battery should be tested for cranking amperage and checked for any signs of sulfation; a battery that has sat for long periods may require replacement even if the voltage reads nominally. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface rust, pitting or uneven wear, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding – a common issue on vehicles that have been stationary for extended periods. Finally, conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the engine bay and under‑carriage for any fluid leaks, dried oil residues or corrosion on the chassis, especially around suspension mounting points and brake lines. Verify that the engine oil, coolant and transmission fluids have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, as fluid degradation can occur with time as well as mileage. During a test drive, listen for any clunking from the front or rear suspension bushes, note any vibration or shudder through the steering wheel or brake pedal, and confirm that the steering feels precise with no play. A complete service history, with stamps confirming oil changes, filter replacements and any scheduled inspections, will provide further confidence that the vehicle has been maintained appropriately despite its low utilisation.
