2012 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · FP62 TZJ

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 99,419 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This indicates the early stages of component wear rather than an immediate failure, and the previous four annual tests showed clean results with no recorded defects or advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 22,012 miles, suggesting regular but modest usage intervals. The gap between the September 2024 and February 2026 tests shows an accumulation of 8,808 miles over roughly seventeen months, which aligns well with the historical annual average. This low cumulative mileage suggests that the drivetrain and structural components have not been subjected to excessive high-mileage stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside front suspension to ensure the misting has not progressed to a significant leak that requires immediate replacement. While the record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake issues, the age of the vehicle warrants a manual check of rubber suspension bushes and potential rust on the chassis sills or exhaust mounting points. Given the clean history of the previous years, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but the shock absorber remains the only item of technical interest.
