2004 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · OY54 JVD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite recurring immediate MOT failures. The most recent test on January 29 2026 at 181,532 miles passed with no defects recorded, following an identical failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying minor compliance issues to secure a valid certificate, and the lack of recorded advisories across the last three years indicates that the vehicle is currently being kept in a clean condition regarding its primary safety components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,250 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 4,676 miles, while it clocked another 4,587 miles in the following year up to January 2026. This steady, moderate usage suggests light use, which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. The intervals between tests are regular, indicating the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods or failing to meet inspections. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as these are common failure areas for aging Volkswagen Caddies. While the MOT record shows no advisories, the repeated failures immediately before passing often point to minor consumable issues such as light bulbs, wiper blade wear, or slight fluid leaks that were addressed just before the test. Inspect the underside for hidden corrosion on the sills and brake lines to ensure that the clean record is not masking developing structural rot that has not yet reached the threshold of a mechanical failure.
