2009 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · HM56 DAN

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 28 November 2025 at 190,756 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of three clean passes since late 2022, suggesting that the current owner is proactively addressing any developing issues before they escalate into test failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 11,278 miles, which represents a steady rate of usage. The interval between December 2024 and November 2025 saw a lower accumulation of 5,770 miles, yet the vehicle passed without issue. There is no evidence of long periods of standing or erratic spikes in mileage that would typically lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components or seized mechanical parts. Despite the recent clean records, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as the age and mileage of this Caddy model often lead to hidden corrosion. The failure on 14 November 2022 at 162,097 miles was rectified within three days for a successful pass, which suggests a minor defect that was quickly addressed. Attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounting points for wear, as these components undergo significant stress on vehicles nearing the 200,000 mile mark. Brake lines and discs should also be checked for excessive thinning or surface rust to ensure the recent MOT passes reflect a truly healthy condition.
