Our Verdict
Exercise caution when considering this 2
If you proceed with a purchase, you must verify that the extensive list of defects from the March 2026 MOT failure—including the fractured coil spring, worn suspension bushes, and excessive engine oil leak—has been fully rectified with documented proof. Do not rely solely on the 'Pass' certificate from April 2026; ask for specific invoices related to these repairs.
Negotiate based on the frequency of advisories and failures. Given the recent issues with tyres and CV boots, check the remaining tread depth on all four tyres and the condition of all rubber boots in the drivetrain. Ensure the engine oil leak noted in the March 2026 test has been permanently resolved and is not merely a temporary fix.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Caddy is likely to offer decent fuel economy for a commercial-style vehicle, though actual figures will depend on load and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for a 2007 diesel model vary, but buyers should check the specific bracket for the 2.0L engine variant.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recent pattern of suspension and engine-related MOT failures. Budget for regular replacement of consumables like tyres and brake components, which have appeared in recent MOT records. Estimated annual running costs are moderate but subject to the frequency of mechanical repairs.
A thorough inspection of the suspension system is vital. The March 2026 MOT failure highlighted issues with anti-roll bar linkages, coil springs, and lower suspension arm bushes; check these areas for any signs of play or noise during a test drive. Inspect the CV boots specifically, as the offside outer boot was noted as severely deteriorated in 2026.
Check the engine bay carefully for any signs of fresh oil weeping, following the 'excessive oil leak' failure recorded in March 2026. Additionally, verify the operation of all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps and indicators, as these have been recurring points of failure in the vehicle's recent history.
This white 2.0L diesel Volkswagen Caddy has covered 122,177 miles since its first registration in June 2007. The MOT history shows a pattern of frequent failures, most notably a major failure in March 2026 involving engine oil leaks, suspension components, and tyre issues. Although it passed in April 2026, the record indicates a history of recurring issues with lighting and suspension wear.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volkswagen Caddy model to provide a comparative benchmark.
