2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · DY64 TNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 25 November 2025. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability followed by a recent failure on that same day. While the vehicle initially failed the test at 82,670 miles due to a deteriorated driver door hinge, an insecure battery, and a non-functional 13-pin trailer socket, these were rectified immediately. This suggests the owner is willing to address specific mechanical failures to maintain legal road access. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 72,075 miles in November 2022 to 82,670 miles by November 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate erratic usage patterns. This regularity generally suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which can help keep rubber seals and components from becoming degraded, though the low annual mileage makes age-related wear on plastics a primary concern. A buyer should physically inspect the driver side door and hinge area to ensure the corrosion noted in the November 2025 failure has not compromised the structural integrity of the pillar. The battery housing must be checked for secure mounting to prevent movement during transit. Given the previous failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2023, a thorough check of the front suspension bushings and joints is required to identify any further signs of play or tearing. The trailer electrical socket should also be tested for full functionality, as this was a known point of failure.
