The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 19 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 14 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Upper Suspension component likely to fail spring top mount (5.3.3 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Battery insecure and likely to fall from carrier (4.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a significan
When viewing this Caddy, you should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The June 2026 MOT failure included a fractured offside front coil spring and a nearside front suspension component likely to fail. Ensure these have been replaced with high-quality parts and not just temporarily patched.
Negotiate based on the recent history of multiple brake disc advisories and the reported exhaust smoke. Ask for documented evidence of the work carried out to rectify the 2026 failures, specifically the battery security, headlamp aim, and the stop lamp. Given the diesel engine, check for any signs of significant oil or coolant leaks that might correlate with the reported excessive exhaust smoke.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Caddy is likely to offer decent fuel economy for a light commercial vehicle, though this will depend on load and driving style. It will fall into a standard diesel tax band and insurance group appropriate for its age and engine size.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the frequency of wear-and-tear items appearing in the MOT history, such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension components. Expect to budget for regular servicing to manage the emissions-related issues noted in the 2026 record.
Focus heavily on the underside and suspension. The 2026 MOT failure specifically cited a fractured offside front coil spring and issues with the nearside front upper suspension component. Check for any remaining signs of corrosion or play in the suspension joints.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The most recent MOT (June 2026) recorded advisories for worn, pitted, or scored brake discs on all four corners. Additionally, check the exhaust system for excessive smoke, as this was a failure in June 2026 and an advisory in the subsequent pass. Finally, ensure the battery is securely mounted, as the previous failure noted an insecure nearside front battery.
This 2009 blue Volkswagen Caddy has covered 158,147 miles, which is consistent with its age and diesel engine type. The MOT history shows a recent pattern of failures in June 2026, specifically regarding suspension components, brakes, and lighting. While the most recent test was a pass, the vehicle has a history of advisories and failures related to wear and tear on tyres and braking systems.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Volkswagen Caddy model to provide a comparative benchmark.
