2009 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · MA59 KFU

The current roadworthiness status of this Volkswagen Caddy is stable, supported by a clean pass on 23 May 2025 at 247,156 miles. The absence of recorded defects or advisories in the last three consecutive tests suggests a consistent standard of maintenance, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition despite its age. The history shows no recurring mechanical failures, which points to a proactive approach to addressing wear and tear before it results in a test refusal. The vehicle has accumulated 247,156 miles over 17 years, averaging approximately 14,500 miles annually. This high-mileage profile is consistent with the commercial nature of the Caddy model. A notable period of intensive use occurred between May 2024 and May 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 27,000 miles in a single year. While the MOT record remains clean, this rapid accumulation of mileage necessitates a thorough physical assessment of the drivetrain and transmission, as the high-frequency usage pattern places significant stress on these components. Potential buyers should prioritize a detailed inspection of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these parts are prone to fatigue at this mileage level. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as the MOT test only assesses performance at the time of the inspection and does not account for the remaining service life of consumables. Given the age and mileage, verify the condition of the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and sills, to ensure that the lack of MOT advisories reflects genuine structural integrity rather than superficial cosmetic masking.
