2021 Volkswagen Caravelle Executive TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · GU71 RWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 with 41,854 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a mechanical failure just twelve weeks prior. At 41,416 miles, the tester identified a serious fluid leak from the offside front shock absorber. The fact that this was rectified immediately to achieve a subsequent clean pass suggests the owner is responsive to critical safety failures. The recorded mileage of 41,854 miles over five years represents an average of approximately 8,371 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There is a clear gap of 12,266 miles between the November 2024 test at 29,188 miles and the November 2025 test. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and rubber-based components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the replaced shock absorber has not caused secondary wear on adjacent bushes or mounts. The 2024 test at 29,188 miles flagged both the offside front and nearside rear tyres as worn to the limit on edges, which often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect camber. You must verify that the current tyres show even wear to confirm that any previous geometry faults were properly addressed during the service interval.
