2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · PE12 KKF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 185,552 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully addressed previous issues identified in earlier years. While the history shows instances of failure, the clean sheet on the last two consecutive tests indicates that the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical faults before the annual inspection deadline. At 185,552 miles over fourteen years, this Volkswagen Caddy has accumulated significant mileage, averaging approximately 13,254 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,700 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 8,176 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady high-mileage pattern suggests the vehicle was used regularly for commercial or longdistance travel which accelerates wear on drivetrain components, shock absorbers, and suspension bushings. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension assembly, given the high mileage. Although the recent tests were clean, the failures in March 2024 and March 2025 indicate that components occasionally require immediate attention. Focus on checking for deep structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common failure areas for this generation of Caddy. Inspect the brake system for uneven wear or seized calipers to ensure the high mileage has not led to neglected mechanical maintenance between the successful MOT results.
