2015 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · GF15 XPW

This 2015 Volkswagen Caddy presents a broadly stable maintenance trend, underpinned by a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 at 91,183 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on that pass, and the same was true of the March 2023 test at 75,637 miles. A single failed test on 2 April 2025 at 86,113 miles for a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber was promptly resolved, as the very next day's retest at 86,114 miles passed with no issues. That sequence indicates the previous owner addressed the fault without delay, which is a positive signal for ongoing care. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle. Between March 2023 and April 2025 the van covered roughly 10,477 miles per year, and the current total of 91,183 miles works out at approximately 8,289 miles per year over its lifetime. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record. The annual test dates fall within a narrow window each spring, suggesting a regular servicing rhythm rather than long periods of neglect. The most notable mechanical flag in the history is that nearside front shock absorber leak. Although repaired, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension on a test drive, listening for clunks over rough surfaces and checking for uneven tyre wear that could point to lingering geometry issues. The 2024 advisory on the nearside rear tyre, noted as perished with a minor cut, was a low-severity item, but it hints that tyre condition may not have been closely monitored between services. All four tyres deserve a close visual check for age-related cracking and tread depth, particularly if the van has spent time standing or lightly loaded. Beyond the recorded faults, the Caddy's commercial underpinness warrants attention. Inspect the floor pan, sills, and wheel arches for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has worked in harsh or salted environments. With no further defects logged since the shock absorber repair, the mechanical picture is encouraging, but a hands-on inspection of the drivetrain, braking system, and structural mounts remains essential before purchase.
