2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · FD12 MYP

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The August 2025 test at 40,617 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a consistent pattern of successful tests in 2024 and 2022. While the vehicle failed the MOT on 07 August 2023 at 31,568 miles, the subsequent pass within 24 hours suggests that the identified issue was rectified immediately. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,901 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 31,311 miles in August 2022 to 40,617 miles in August 2025. This low annual usage indicates the vehicle has seen light road use, though such infrequent mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or seized calipers due to lack of regular operation. A physical inspection should focus on checking the condition of rubberised components like suspension bushes and engine mounts, which can degrade due to age rather than mileage. Given the low usage, I recommend inspecting the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensuring the calipers are not binding. While the MOT record shows no structural integrity issues, the age of the vehicle warrants a close check of the underbody for any signs of corrosion on the exhaust or subframes.
