2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · NV62 FSZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs regarding suspension components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 120,578 miles passed, it still carried multiple advisories for damaged rear shock absorbers and worn rear brake discs. These issues persist from previous failures in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners only addressed mechanical faults once they reached a point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At a recorded mileage of 120,578 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,275 miles per year. This is consistent with typical light commercial use for this model. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 4,800 miles in the year prior. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the mileage is sufficient to wear on rubber-based bushings and damping units as seen in the inspection results. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end and rear suspension. The record highlights recurring issues with anti-roll bar bushes and suspension arm pins, which caused failures in 2023 and 2024. The 2023 failure for fractured coil springs and a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock indicates that the suspension geometry has undergone significant stress and should be checked for further fatigue. Furthermore, the pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs noted in 2025 indicate the brakes are nearing the end of their functional life and will require replacement to ensure effective stopping performance.
