2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · GL17 AEX

The Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history. In the September 2025 test at 89,999 miles, the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day, both with no defects logged, pointing to a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in August 2024, September 2023 and August 2022 likewise returned passes with clean sheets. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisories. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old van. The record shows 58,204 miles in August 2022, rising to 71,520 by September 2023, then 81,380 in August 2024 and 89,999 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 13,000 miles per year, with no abrupt gaps or rapid accumulation. The sparse but consistent annual tests suggest the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline, though no intermediate service data is available. With no recurrent faults logged, the buyer should nonetheless target common age-related wear zones in person. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs or binding calipers, yet rubber mounts and brake discs degrade with use. Examine the subframe and sills for structural corrosion, verify exhaust emissions under load and check tyre tread depth. The clean MOT sheet implies basic upkeep was observed, but it does not certify component condition beyond the test date.
