2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · GD17 XMZ

The 2025‑12‑17 MOT at 55,886 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilised after the brief Dec‑9 failure concerning the registration plate. Mileage has risen from 13,989 miles in June 2020 to 55,886 miles in December 2025, averaging about 6,200 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a nine‑year‑old Caddy; the increments are steady, with the largest jump of roughly 11,000 miles between June 2021 and June 2022 and no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. Recurring observations include persistent registration‑plate deterioration, intermittent oil leakage noted in March 2023, front suspension arm ball‑joint dust‑cover wear in the same test, and repeated wear of brake discs and pads, particularly on the near‑side rear and front assemblies, indicating that suspension bushes, coil springs and brake components have experienced regular use but have not shown a worsening pattern. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and ball joints, verify the integrity of the brake discs, pads and calipers for binding or excessive wear, check tyre tread depth and edge wear, look for any signs of oil leakage around the engine and gearbox, and confirm that the registration plate is legible and securely mounted.
