2007 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · PF07 HSD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 March 2026 at 74,256 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that any issues were rectified immediately. The maintenance trend appears stable over the last two years, as the vehicle has consistently returned a clean test sheet without accumulating advisories or recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between 22 March 2024 at 72,350 miles and 13 March 2025 at 73,093 miles, the Caddy covered only 743 miles in a full year. Another 1,163 miles were recorded in the following twelve months. This pattern of usage suggests infrequent use, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and perish despite the low overall mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age associated with low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle increases the risk of structural corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot, as these often perish when a vehicle sits for long periods. Given the infrequent use, also check the brake caliper sliders for seizing or binding and ensure the discs have not developed significant surface pitting from lack of regular cleaning.
