2016 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · OT02 AJT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 May 2026 at 70,323 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the current and previous owners have clearly maintained the vehicle to a passing standard without allowing mechanical or structural issues to accumulate to a failure point. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2022 test at 48,073 miles and the May 2026 test at 70,323 miles, the vehicle covered 22,250 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no signs of long periods of stationary which could lead to seized brake calipers or perished-related fluid degradation. The low mileage relative to the age suggests less overall wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage commercial vans. While the MOT record shows no recorded failures or recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Caddy of this era. The buyer should check for early-stage corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as MOT tests only flag rust once it becomes structural. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the condition of rubber components and suspension bushes for cracking, which occurs through age regardless of distance. Testing the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning will ensure that the clean MOT history reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
