2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · FG64 KYP

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 January 2026 at 80,524 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The prior test on 2 January 2026 recorded a failure at 80,499 miles yet listed no defects, a pattern consistent with an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Every annual examination from January 2023 through January 2025 passed cleanly with no advisories raised against suspension, brakes, emissions, or structure. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,700 miles against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical figure for this age of light commercial. The records show steady accumulation: 55,205 miles in January 2023, 61,240 in January 2024, 69,906 in January 2025, and 80,524 by January 2026. The jump between the January 2025 and January 2026 entries covers about 10,600 miles, slightly above the yearly average but not abnormal for a Caddy used in mixed service. No long dormant periods or sudden spikes appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, but twelve-year-old VW vans commonly develop underbody rust and perished rubber that a road test would expose. The January 2026 fail with zero defects warrants confirmation the logbook and test certificate match and that no informal rejection occurred. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation given the mileage, and verify tyre sidewalls for age cracking even where tread passes. The history implies conscientious annual testing by the previous keeper, though the unexplained fail so close to the pass suggests verifying the vehicle was not presented with a latent fault cleared between visits.
