2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · DV67 PRX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred upkeep of wear-related components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 108,667 miles flagged multiple advisories that contrast with the clean records seen in 2022 and 2024. This transition indicates that the vehicle has reached a stage where routine consumables and suspension components require more proactive attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-frequency use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between November 2022 at 66,728 miles and November 2025 at 108,667 miles, the vehicle covered over 41,000 miles in just three years. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage which places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis components, though the lack of long gaps between tests indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left sitting. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the rear suspension, as the November 2025 advisory noted worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both sides. While these did not result in excessive movement at the time, they are prone to further degradation and will eventually affect handling stability. The history also shows a recurring issue with tyre condition, with advisories for edge wear and perishing in 2023 and 2025. The uneven edge wear on the front tyres suggests potential wheel alignment issues or a failure to replace tyres before they reached the legal limit.
