2015 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · OU15 OVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 22 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent history shows a specific mechanical failure just six miles prior to that pass. At 73,892 miles, the tester identified excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. The fact that the vehicle was repaired and subsequently passed on the same day indicates the owner reacted quickly to safety-critical faults to maintain operational standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 58,256 miles and January 2025 at 66,238 miles, the vehicle covered 7,982 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The subsequent jump to 73,898 miles by December 2025 maintains this moderate annual accumulation. This low-mileage profile generally suggests less wear on rubber components and drivetrain assemblies compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the replacement arms and bushes were fitted correctly and that no play remains in the steering geometry. Given the previous failure of these components, it is vital to check for signs of premature wear on adjacent parts such as ball joints or drop links. While the record shows no recorded advisories for the last three years, a check for corrosion on the wheel arches and sills remains necessary, as these are common areas for Volkswagen vehicles of this age regardless of mileage.
