2016 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · OO05 MAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent MOT test on October 2025 at 76,888 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This indicates that the owner addresses simple electrical defects immediately upon discovery. The absence of any recorded advisories across the previous four years suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance levels during the testing intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 8,560 miles, showing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The 4,506 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests further confirm this regular driving habit. This moderate mileage generally reduces the accelerated wear on drivetrain components, clutch, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage fleet vans. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for the Caddy platform. Given the age and mileage, the tester did not flag any structural corrosion, but an underside check of the sills and mounting points remains a prudent practice. The buyer should also inspect the brakes for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT only tests for operational efficiency rather than overall thickness. The lack of historical advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but checking the rubber components and suspension bushes will confirm the stable mechanical condition described in the records.
