2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · LT12 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean MOT pass on 11 March 2026 at 107,783 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle has successfully cleared testing without recorded defects for the last three years. While the record shows failures in March 2025 and 2026, the lack of specific recorded defects on those failure entries suggests these were administrative errors or minor items that were rectified immediately prior to retest, rather than systemic mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is typical for a 14-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 83,279 miles and the 2025 test at 95,439 miles, the vehicle covered 12,160 miles, with another 12,344 miles recorded in the following year leading up to the March 2026 test. This regular usage pattern is generally beneficial for such vehicles as it prevents the issues associated with dry seals and brake corrosion often occur during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to wear on a Caddy of this age, despite the clean MOT history. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often fail without an MOT. Given the mileage, examine the brake discs for uneven wear and check the tyres for consistent depth to ensure alignment remains consistent with the intended use. Since the record shows no structural rust on the sills or sub mounting points, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the available data.
