2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · MX67 JOU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, as the most recent MOT test in December 2025 was passed at 67,987 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that while the car has been tested, the engine and drivetrain have not suffered catastrophic failure. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of instability, with two consecutive failures in December 2025 and January 2025, both occurring at the same mileage. This suggests that the engine and transmission are likely in good condition, but the suspension and braking systems may require regular inspection. The mileage accumulation over approximately nine years is consistent with typical usage for a 2017 model, yet the test dates show significant gaps between the last two passes. The most recent test was taken in late December 2025 at 67,987 miles, which is a substantial increase from the previous test in January 2025 at 56,295 miles. This rapid mileage growth without a corresponding MOT failure suggests that the car may have experienced minor wear on suspension components or brake pads during the interim periods, rather than a complete mechanical breakdown. Given the two failures in December 2025, a buyer must inspect the suspension and braking systems in person to rule out structural integrity issues. The previous owner has failed twice on these critical components, indicating a pattern of neglect or inadequate upkeep. While the engine and drivetrain appear sound, the lack of a third test in December 2025 and the presence of two failures in January 2025 warrant a thorough visual check of the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. If these components show signs of binding, corrosion, or excessive play, the car may not meet the legal roadworthiness standards, necessitating a full MOT test and potential repairs before it can be sold.
