2021 Volkswagen Caddy C20 Commerce PRO TDI 2.0L Diesel · MT71 VWF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 26 November 2025 at 81,753 miles. While the most recent inspection resulted in a clean pass, the preceding day’s failure highlights a significant lapse in basic maintenance. The presence of cords showing on the offside front tyre and brake pads worn below 1.5mm indicates that the vehicle was operated in a dangerous condition immediately prior to the test. This pattern suggests a reactive approach to servicing rather than proactive replacement of consumable parts. The recorded mileage of 81,753 miles over a five-year period reflects intensive use, averaging approximately 16,350 miles per annum. The jump of 14,893 miles between the November 2024 test and the November 2025 test confirms consistent, high-frequency usage typical of a commercial vehicle. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has remained stationary or covered minimal distance for nearly seven months since its last certification. Potential buyers should account for the accelerated wear inherent in such high-mileage commercial operation, particularly regarding the drivetrain and suspension geometry. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system and tyre condition, as the 2025 failure points to a history of running components to total exhaustion. Verify the remaining thickness on all four brake discs and pads, as the previous failure suggests the front axle may have been neglected. Inspect the suspension bushes and steering rack for play, as high-mileage Caddy models often develop premature wear in these areas due to heavy load-bearing. Ensure the engine oil and filter service intervals align with the high mileage accumulation to mitigate risks of turbocharger or DPF degradation.
