2009 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · LR59 CYG

The 2009 Volkswagen Caddy demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-22 inspection at 84,432 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 4,967 miles, significantly below typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps exist between the 2021-10-13 test (56,072 miles) and the 2022-07-26 test (56,668 miles), a nine-month period with only 596 miles recorded, raising potential concerns about prolonged inactivity. Subsequent increases to 66,845 miles by 2023 and 76,318 by 2024 show gradual usage, but the overall pattern suggests periods of minimal operation, which could affect components like batteries, brake calipers, and suspension bushings. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in the underbody and exhaust system, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluid buildup. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny for stiffness or wear, as infrequent use may hinder their proper function. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for binding or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity can lead to seized mechanisms. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, these areas require physical verification to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
