2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · GD67 AEG

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 April 2026 at 85,392 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low mechanical stress. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old commercial vehicle. Between the November 2020 test at 63,920 miles and the April 2026 test at 85,392 miles, the car covered 21,472 miles over approximately five and a half years. This steady increase suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The historical record is remarkably sparse regarding mechanical failure. The only defect noted in the entire history occurred on 21 November 2020, where the tester flagged a nail in the offside rear tyre. This is a minor consumable issue and does not indicate a systemic failure of the vehicle's structural integrity or mechanical components. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions failures. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that develop between annual checks. Given the age and the clean record, check for any signs of chassis corrosion and verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these service items are not MOT requirements but are critical for this engine's longevity. Check the brake pedal feel and tyre tread depths to ensure they have not degraded since the April 2026 inspection.
