2011 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · FD61 FUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in April 2026 at 109,405 miles passed with only minor advisories related to registration plate condition. This represents an improvement from the April 2025 test where the vehicle failed due to suspension components and tyre wear. While the mechanical failures are intermittent, the history indicates that components are only addressed once they fail. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 97,464 miles and April 2025 at 102,735 miles, the vehicle covered 5,271 miles, followed by another 6,670 miles leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and bearings despite relatively low mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front and rear suspension assemblies in person. The April 2024 test flagged an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm rear bush and a rough nearside rear wheel bearing, while the April 2025 failure involved a perished offside front anti-roll bar linkage. These areas are prone to wear on the Caddy platform, and a physical check for play in the bushes or आवाज from hubs is essential. The recurring mention of worn rear tyres in 2025 also suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature wear on any new rubber.
