2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · FE12 AEV

The Volkswagen Caddy passed its most recent MOT on 11 May 2022 at 103,959 miles with no defects recorded, following a failed test the same day at 103,958 miles. This single-day pass-fail pair is unusual. The failure produced no documented defects, suggesting a minor administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. With no subsequent test recorded, the vehicle's roadworthiness status remains unverified for over four years. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving due to the single data point. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 7,426 miles per year over 14 years, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage of 103,959 miles aligns closely with the average, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing. No evidence of rapid mileage spikes or significant gaps appears in the available record. The data is sparse, limited to two entries on the same date, leaving a four-year gap with no inspection history. A buyer should prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering the braking system, including caliper operation and brake disc condition, as binding or uneven wear can develop without warning. Suspension components such as coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushes should be checked for corrosion and deterioration, particularly given the vehicle's age. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for structural rust, especially around mounting points and joints. Given the four-year gap since the last MOT, a full mechanical assessment is essential before purchase.
