2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · NJ64 EOX

The Volkswagen Caddy’s most recent MOT test on 24 July 2025—just under a year ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This consistency across four consecutive tests (2022 to 2025) suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The tester’s clean bill of health implies no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, nor any evidence of corrosion compromising structural integrity. However, the lack of advisories also means no prior warnings about exhaust emissions, brake fluid condition, or steering play, leaving those areas as critical inspection points for the buyer. The recorded mileage of 76,199 miles at the latest test aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,350 miles annually. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in mileage between tests—from 57,277 miles in August 2022 to 69,312 in August 2024 represents a steady 2,015 miles per year, while the final 6,887 miles between tests occurred over just under a year. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect, though it also means consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads may require closer scrutiny. The most recent MOT’s proximity to today (26 July 2026) means the vehicle has only covered an additional 6,887 miles since passing, reducing the risk of accelerated wear in high-stress components. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension’s rubber components—particularly the rear bushes and shock absorbers—for signs of cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in vans of this age. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, with attention to any lateral wear or glazing that might indicate binding calipers or misaligned wheels. The underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, especially around the sills and subframe, as this is a frequent silent threat to structural integrity. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity must be verified, as leaks or rusted joints can escalate quickly and affect emissions compliance. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does indicate they have not yet triggered a fail.
