2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · GD67 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent testing. The December 2025 test at 81,862 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard recently. While the history shows intermittent issues with tyres, the absence of advisories or failures in the last two years indicates a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation follows a predictable and steady pattern for a 2017 vehicle. The recorded distance has increased by approximately 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually, moving from 37,728 miles in November 2020 to the current 81,862 miles in December 2025. This consistent usage suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent common issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components from sitting idle. A pattern of tyre-related failures and advisories is evident in the historical data. The tester flagged a cut to the nearside front tyre in December 2021 and a more serious structural bulge in the same tyre during the December 2024 test at 73,402 miles. The 2020 test also identified a deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. Although these issues were resolved, a buyer should inspect the current condition of all tyres for sidewall damage and check the integrity of the suspension bushes and linkage joints. Given the history of minor mechanical wear, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension components and the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion. While the recent MOTs are clean, the previous failure regarding the anti-roll bar linkage suggests that rubber dust covers and ball joints are areas where wear typically manifests on this vehicle. Checking the tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres remains a priority during a walk-around inspection.
