2011 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · FD61 AAU

The 2011 Volkswagen Caddy’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-22 at 113,504 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date shows a failed test with identical mileage, suggesting a potential data inconsistency or retest. Previous MOTs from 2024 and 2023 also show alternating pass/fail results at similar mileages, though no defects were noted in any record. This pattern indicates the vehicle has met legal standards recently, but the lack of detailed defect reporting limits insight into underlying mechanical trends. The absence of recorded issues on the latest test suggests a stable condition, though the repeated failures at matching mileages raise questions about the reliability of the testing process or the vehicle’s consistency. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,504 miles over 15 years equates to roughly 7,567 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps between assessments. The 2024-04-29 tests, occurring just days apart, suggest a possible retest following a failure, though the identical mileage and lack of defect details obscure the nature of the issue. The 2023-04-29 tests similarly show a pass and fail on the same date, further complicating the interpretation of maintenance patterns. Overall, the mileage progression appears normal, with no evidence of excessive wear or sudden accumulation. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, as repeated MOT failures at similar mileages may indicate unresolved issues with bushes or coil springs. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could have contributed to past failures. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body panels, to rule out corrosion or damage. While no defects were recorded, the vehicle’s history suggests a need for thorough mechanical evaluation to confirm its ongoing roadworthiness.
