2011 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · GF60 VFT

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 143,112 miles which recorded no defects. The preceding pass on 7 February 2024 at 136,457 miles also showed a clean sheet. Two failed tests in early 2023 and 2024 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle has avoided recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions across the available record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,500 miles, typical for a 2011 van of this type. The record shows 121,588 miles at the February 2023 pass, rising to 136,457 by February 2024 and 143,112 by May 2025. That equates to about 14,900 miles in the first interval and only 6,655 in the second, a slowdown suggesting lighter recent use. The clean MOT history across four passed tests gives no evidence of neglected consumables or skipped upkeep, though the sparse entries limit insight into intermediate wear. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and underbody condition in person, as a 15-year-old Caddy is prone to hidden chassis rust even when the tester logged no corrosion advisories. Inspect the coil springs, suspension arms, and exhaust for age-related fatigue not captured by a defect-free test. The twin failure entries with zero defects point to possible test centre errors, so confirm the V5C and prior ownership context before purchase. Given the absence of flagged brake binding, worn tyres, or failing emissions, the mechanical risk appears low for the mileage. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the drivetrain and turbo diesel internals match the clean paper trail.
