2015 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · LP64 AFY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging signs of mechanical component wear. The most recent test in December 2025 at 97,624 miles flagged four advisories related specifically to tyres, including uneven wear and perishing. This marks a departure from the 2021 through 2023 period where the vehicle passed with no defects, suggesting the vehicle is now requiring more proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,875 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2021 and December 2021, where the vehicle covered nearly 18,000 miles in eleven months. Since then, the mileage accumulation has stabilised to a more consistent rate of roughly 7,000 miles per annum. This steady usage at a higher mileage bracket is typically the point where rubber components and suspension bushings reach the end of their service life. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the December 2024 test at 95,816 miles identified worn bushes on both lower suspension arms. While these were not failures at the time, the subsequent flagging of the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage indicates the suspension system is beginning to degrade. The uneven wear noted on the inner front tyres in the latest test suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shocks that needs addressed to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust, as these are common areas for this model as it approaches the six-figure mile mark.
