2007 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · LB57 AVW

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑09 at 190 044 miles recorded a failure with no defects noted. This follows a pattern of instability after a run of passes: the car passed on 2025‑02‑14 at 179 400 miles, yet just three days earlier on 2025‑02‑11 it failed at 179 387 miles, again with no defects. The recurrence of failures without recorded faults suggests intermittent or sensor‑related issues rather than a consistent mechanical defect, indicating an unstable maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 19‑year‑old vehicle. Between 2025‑02‑14 and 2026‑04‑09 the odometer rose 10 644 miles over roughly 14 months, averaging about 760 miles per month. The earlier interval from 2024‑03‑07 (170 589 miles) to 2025‑02‑14 added 8 811 miles in approximately 11 months, also consistent with normal wear. The record is relatively clean, with no major mileage spikes or gaps that would signal abnormal service intervals. A prospective buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for components that may exhibit intermittent faults despite clean MOT records. Examine the brake system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, and pad thickness; check suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion; and assess the exhaust and under‑body for rust and structural integrity. Given the high mileage, verify tyre tread depth, wheel bearing condition, and the condition of the timing belt or chain. A pre‑purchase mechanical inspection is essential to uncover any hidden wear or developing issues not reflected in the MOT history.
