2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · FV18 AEE

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 100,789 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed. This clean result follows a period where minor wear-related items were identified, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in rectifying issues before they escalate into failures. The mileage profile reflects high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between the April 2025 test at 83,513 miles and the 2026 test at 100,789 miles, covering over 17,000 miles in a single year. This high-frequency operation typically places accelerated strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components, though the consistent annual MOT testing suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and tyre assemblies given the history of recurring wear-related faults. The 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres for being worn on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Additionally, the failure in 2021 due to a structural cut in the nearside rear tyre highlights a previous lapse in basic equipment checks. While the recent records are clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of brake disc thickness and the condition of rubber suspension mounts to ensure the heavy-use components are not nearing the end of their service life.
