2018 Volkswagen Caddy 1.2L Petrol · LL68 UBR

Chronic wear across the braking system defines this vehicle's recent history, with a recurring pattern of worn discs and pads appearing in records since 2022. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 12 August 2026, the persistence of advisories for pitted and scored discs on both the front and rear axles suggests a braking system nearing the end of its service life. This trend indicates a gradual decline in the condition of the friction components rather than a one-off failure. An accumulation of 72,539 miles over approximately eight years represents a typical usage profile for a light commercial vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 9,067 miles per year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than standing for long periods, which generally helps maintain engine seals and rubber components. However, this level of operational use is reflected in the wear of primary consumables, particularly the suspension and braking hardware. Immediate attention is required for the braking system and front tyres. The repeated flagging of lipped, pitted, and scored discs, combined with previously thin pads, means the buyer should be alert for pedal judder or a pulsing sensation during deceleration. A test drive should specifically focus on the smoothness of the braking action and any audible grinding or squealing. Additionally, both front tyres are currently recorded as being close to the legal limit and will require imminent replacement to ensure road safety and grip. The rear suspension requires scrutiny due to the recorded wear in the anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes. During a test drive, listen for knocks, clunks, or rattling sounds coming from the rear of the chassis when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces. These components are critical for vehicle stability during cornering, and any excessive movement in the linkages should be addressed to restore the original handling characteristics of the vehicle.
