Our Verdict
This 2012 Volkswagen Caddy C20 TDI 75 sh
When inspecting this Volkswagen Caddy, request documentation for the February 2024 MOT failure at 130,789 miles to understand what caused the initial refusal and ensure it was fully rectified. Check the physical condition of the load bay, sills, and suspension components, as commercial vehicles often endure heavy wear and tear. Ensure there is a comprehensive service record accompanying the vehicle to corroborate its mechanical upkeep beyond what the MOT certificates show.
Running a 2012 1.5-litre diesel Caddy involves standard commercial vehicle costs, including fuel for the 1598cc diesel engine, VED road tax, and insurance typically grouped under van tariffs. Routine maintenance should account for replacement tyres, brake components, and servicing for a vehicle with over 134,000 miles on the clock. Expect total annual running costs to fall within the typical range for a light commercial vehicle of this mileage.
Pay close attention to the front and rear suspension, steering components, and braking system during a physical inspection, referencing the areas tested during its recent MOT history in 2024 and 2025. Inspect the 1.5L diesel engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, belt wear, or turbocharger issues common to high-mileage diesel units. Check all doors, latches, and the bulkhead for structural integrity and corrosion.
First registered in June 2012, this silver Volkswagen Caddy carries a 1598cc diesel engine and has covered 134,906 miles as of its May 2025 MOT test. The MOT history records three passes (December 2022, April 2024, and May 2025) alongside a single failure in February 2024 at 130,789 miles. The recorded mileage sits at an expected level for a commercial vehicle of this age.
