2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · GC17 MYV

The 2026‑04‑06 MOT at 62,512 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently satisfies the statutory roadworthiness criteria. Earlier failures in 2025 (engine MIL inoperative) and 2024 (multiple lighting, door and brake issues) suggest that previous problems have been rectified, indicating a trend that is stabilising rather than deteriorating. The mileage profile shows a steady increase of roughly 6,900 miles per year over the nine‑year lifespan, rising from 14,053 miles in 2020 to 62,512 miles in 2026. The interval between the 2024 test (47,006 miles) and the 2025 test (53,425 miles) represents a 6,419‑mile gain in one year, while the jump to the 2026 test (62,512 miles) adds 9,087 miles, both within the normal range for a vehicle of this age and do not reveal abnormal usage patterns. Recurring observations include repeated headlamp aim adjustments noted in 2022, 2024 and 2025, persistent brake disc wear and pitting recorded in 2022, 2024 and 2025, a near‑side rear loading door that may open inadvertently (2024), intermittent windscreen washer failure (2021, 2024) and the 2025 engine management light malfunction, all of which point to specific components that merit close attention. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or binding, verify correct headlamp aim and alignment, test the rear loading door latch for secure closure, confirm washer and wiper operation, and look for any structural rust or corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches.
