2016 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · FL04 TUM

The maintenance trend for this 2016 Volkswagen Caddy is highly stable, demonstrating consistent mechanical health across its lifespan. The most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 61,137 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. Curiously, the record shows an earlier test on the exact same day at 61,136 miles that failed, yet it also lists no defects; this anomaly likely points to an administrative error or an aborted test rather than a sudden mechanical failure, given the immediate pass that followed. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting roughly 6,100 miles of annual usage. Between the December 2022 test at 42,598 miles and the November 2023 test at 48,835 miles, the Caddy covered 6,237 miles. The subsequent years show near-identical increments, with 6,080 miles added by November 2024 and 6,222 miles by November 2025. This steady, predictable rate of wear indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of standing or sudden high-mileage surges. With a completely defect-free MOT history, there are no recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues to flag. Nevertheless, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the typical wear points of a compact commercial van. Check the condition of the rear brake discs and pads for scoring, as light commercial vehicles often suffer from corrosion on standing components. Inspect the front suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and examine the subframe and load floor for any signs of surface rust or structural compromise that might not yet meet the threshold for an MOT failure.
