2006 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · LR56 AEM

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state as the most recent MOT certificate expired on 19 October 2023. Based on the available data, the maintenance trend appears stable but superficial. The last recorded test on 19 October 2022 at 139,661 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one week prior on 12 October 2022. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,983 miles per year. Between 5 October 2021 and 19 October 2022, the odometer increased by 2,621 miles. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to issues such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT record is unusually clean for a twenty year old commercial vehicle, showing no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple tests. This lack of data is atypical for a 2006 Caddy and suggests the tester may have been lenient or the vehicle was meticulously maintained. A buyer must physically inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust, as the records do not provide a detailed history of corrosion. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as the vehicle has been off the road for nearly three years since its last test. Ensure the engine starts readily and the exhaust emissions are within legal limits, as long-term standing often degrades fuel quality and seals.
