2011 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · FG61 XOT

The 2011 Volkswagen Caddy presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 30 October 2025 at 162,460 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle cleared its latest test with no defects logged, though the preceding day saw a failure at the identical mileage of 162,460 with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated exactly one year earlier when the 7 October 2024 test failed then passed on the same date at 156,129 miles. Such back-to-back fail-pass pairs with no advisories or defects cited suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. Annual mileage sits at a typical 10,831 per year for a fifteen-year-old van, with the record showing 151,183 miles in October 2023, 156,129 in October 2024, and 162,460 by October 2025. The accumulation is steady at roughly 5,000 to 6,300 miles annually across the three years, with no gaps or sudden jumps that would imply neglected standing or harsh commercial abuse. The DVSA data itself is sparse, listing only passes and two anomalous fails carrying zero defect codes, so the history offers little granular wear insight. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, chassis legs, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk. The brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses warrant physical measurement despite no binding or wear being flagged, as the test record provides no depth on consumable condition. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be levered and visually checked for fatigue, and the exhaust emissions verified on a cold start, since the clean MOT lines do not confirm component life remaining at 162,460 miles.
