2010 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · DX10 NSK

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy following the February 2026 test, where the tester passed the van at 135,899 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year record, with every annual examination from February 2023 through February 2026 returning a pass and no advisories logged. One anomaly appears on 27 February 2026: the system shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage, yet no defects were recorded against either entry, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,500 miles, in line with typical use for a 16-year-old light commercial. The odometer moved from 121,132 miles at the February 2023 test to 124,978 in February 2024, then 132,546 by February 2025 and 135,899 by February 2026. The step between 2024 and 2025 shows the largest single-year gain at 7,568 miles, but the spread remains consistent and shows no abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing. The clean record across all dates indicates the previous keeper kept the vehicle to test standard without deferred consumable replacement surfacing as advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis despite the absent MOT flags. At 135,899 miles and sixteen years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points are prone to fatigue and corrosion that a pass with no defects does not rule out. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear and binding, while exhaust emissions and structural integrity around sills and wheel arches should be checked for hidden rust. The duplicate fail-pass on the same day at 135,899 miles deserves clarification with the DVSA before purchase. Beyond that administrative query, the documentary history implies disciplined upkeep, though the lack of any advisories across the period may reflect test tolerance rather than component renewal. Pre-purchase scrutiny of drivetrain condition and underbody rust remains the prudent step.
