2015 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · LT15 SFT

The Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable roadworthiness record over the past two years, with the most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 91,423 miles passing without defects—a consistent outcome mirrored in the three preceding tests from April 2025 and March 2024. The sole failure in March 2023 at 83,201 miles stands as an anomaly, given the absence of recorded defects, suggesting either a clerical error or a minor oversight that did not affect the vehicle’s mechanical integrity. This clean history implies that major components—such as brakes, suspension, steering, and structural elements—have been maintained or have remained in good condition through regular servicing. The lack of advisories or recurring faults further supports that the vehicle has not suffered from neglect, though the brief failure raises a minor question about documentation accuracy. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,300 miles per year aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, indicating typical usage without extreme wear patterns. The gaps between tests are standard, with the most recent MOT just five months prior to today’s date, which is well within the annual testing window. There is no evidence of rapid mileage buildup or prolonged inactivity, which would otherwise suggest either heavy use or long-term storage risks. The consistency in mileage increments—approximately 2,964 miles between each test—reinforces that the Caddy has been driven regularly without unusual stress on components. For a prospective buyer, the absence of defects in recent tests reduces immediate concerns about critical failures, but a thorough inspection should still verify key areas. Given the lack of advisories, there is no clear pattern of wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake binding, though a check of the rear brakes would be prudent given the 2023 failure’s ambiguity. Structural integrity should be confirmed, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounting points, where corrosion can develop insidiously. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as these are consumables not covered by the MOT, and the absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee they have been replaced proactively. Finally, the braking system—including discs, pads, and calipers—should be tested for uneven wear, as subtle issues may not always trigger MOT advisories.
