2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · OO06 CLJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent inspection on 29 October 2025 at 85,473 miles. While the history shows a pattern of failures immediately prior to successful tests, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest the previous owner is proactive in rectifying issues before the certificate expires. The lack of any recorded advisories across the last three successful tests indicates the vehicle currently sits in a clean mechanical condition according to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,123 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 3,102 miles, while it covered 10,898 miles in the year leading up to the October 2025 test. This slight increase in annual usage does not indicate excessive wear on the drivetrain or suspension components, though the low annual mileage suggests potential periods of standing which can sometimes lead to dry seals or sticking of brake calipers if the vehicle is not driven regularly enough. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as older Volkswagen Caddy models are prone to structural corrosion in the sills and rear subframe. Despite the clean MOT record, the age of the vehicle means rubber bushes and suspension arms may be showing cracking regardless of the low mileage. Given that the failures in 2024 and 2025 occurred without recorded defects, these were likely triggered by consumable items like light bulbs or minor adjustments that were addressed immediately.
