2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · NV62 FSY

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by the single failed MOT entry recorded on 2025-01-15 at 239,614 miles. This failed test is the only record available, meaning no further testing has been performed since the last successful inspection on 2023-01-13 at 182,184 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, as the vehicle has not undergone a second MOT test since the 2025 failure. The most recent test was a PASSED test on 2025-01-15, which failed immediately after the 2025-01-15 test, indicating a failure to maintain the car's mechanical integrity and a significant gap in the history of regular inspections. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 18,432 miles per year, which is consistent with a vehicle that is roughly 13 years old. This high mileage suggests that the owner has maintained the car for a long period without addressing wear on critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. The rapid accumulation of miles without a MOT test highlights a lack of proactive maintenance, where the car is left to its mechanical conditions rather than being serviced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The data shows that while the car passed on 2023-01-13, the 2025-01-15 test revealed binding rear brakes and insufficient washer liquid, indicating that the car has not been properly maintained to meet current safety standards. Given the recurring faults including binding brakes, worn wheel bearings, and insufficient washer liquid, the vehicle should be inspected in person for structural integrity and consumable wear. The buyer must verify that the brake pads are adequate in thickness and that the suspension components are in good condition, as the history suggests that the car may have suffered from excessive wear on these parts. The lack of a second MOT test since the 2025 failure means that the car is not currently under the warranty or protective measures provided by the DVSA, leaving the vehicle at risk of further damage if the mechanical conditions worsen.
