2023 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi C20 Life TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · FV23 WLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 5, 2026, but the recent maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to defects. The test failed just ten days prior to today due to a critical safety failure on the offside front tyre and a worn nearside front tyre. While the vehicle now passed, the failure indicates that basic safety items were only addressed once they reached a point of legal non-compliance. At 12,983 miles after three years, this Caddy Maxi shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and dry seals, which may align with the failure of the windscreen wiper to clear the glass effectively during the June test. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel geometry in person. The advisory for the nearside front tyre being worn on the inner edge typically points to incorrect camber or toe settings or worn suspension bushes. The presence of ply or cords on the offside front tyre indicates structural damage to the rubber, necessitating an immediate replacement and a check of the rim for impact damage. Verify that the wiper blades have been replaced and that the motor functions correctly, as this was a flagged reason for failure.
