2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · MA03 SON

The most recent MOT on 4 September 2025 recorded a pass at 88,455 miles with no defects noted, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable, as each annual test since 2021 has been passed without recorded failures. Mileage has risen from 36,292 miles on 29 October 2021 to 48,122 miles on 28 October 2022, then to 56,578 miles on 26 October 2023 and 64,435 miles on 6 September 2024. The jump to 88,455 miles by September 2025 represents an increase of roughly 24,000 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of more intensive use compared with the earlier, steadier accumulation of about 8‑9 k miles per year. Apart from this surge, the record shows no gaps or missing tests, and the absence of recorded advisories points to a generally clean service history. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to components that experience accelerated wear under higher mileage. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for signs of uneven wear, and verify that the tyre pressures are correct. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for any creaking or excessive play, as increased road mileage can accelerate degradation. Check the brake discs and pads for thickness and any scoring, and ensure the calipers operate without binding. A visual survey of the under‑body for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and chassis rails, will confirm that structural integrity has been maintained. Finally, confirm that the exhaust system is free of leaks and that the emissions control components function within legal limits, as these items are not captured by the MOT when no defects are recorded.
