2018 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.0L Diesel · KM68 KME

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 82,312 miles flagged two advisories regarding an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and thin rear brake pads. This follows a period of clean records between 2022 and 2024, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their service life simultaneously after long intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 31,946 miles in October 2021 to 69,067 miles in 2024, and reaching 82,312 miles by 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally positive for the health of rubber-based components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, as thin pads appeared in both the 2021 and 2025 tests. The mention of edge wear on tyres in 2021 and 2025 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature wear. While no structural corrosion or mechanical failures have appeared, the recurring advisories on consumables suggest that the previous owner waited until the MOT approached failure thresholds before addressing maintenance.
