Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This vehicle has v
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system; the MOT records show failures for rear brake pads and a binding service brake in 2025, following similar brake lining issues in 2024. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the immediate replacement of at least three tyres, as specified in the July 2026 MOT advisories.
Request full service records to verify the maintenance of the 1.9L diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for this engine's longevity at nearly 190,000 miles.
The 1.9L diesel engine typically offers a balance of torque and fuel economy suitable for commercial use. However, given the vehicle's age and high mileage, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the frequency of component wear.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, commercial vehicle tax, and insurance. Based on the MOT history showing frequent tyre and brake replacements, buyers should budget for higher-than-normal ongoing maintenance expenditure.
Closely inspect the tyres; the 2026 MOT explicitly notes that both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit and the nearside rear is cracking or perishing. Check the rear brakes for any signs of binding or uneven wear, referencing the 2025 failure for the nearside rear service brake.
Verify the functionality of the windscreen washer system, as a broken washer liquid bottle caused a failure in 2024. Finally, check for any signs of chassis corrosion, which is common for commercial vehicles of this age and mileage.
This 2009 white Volkswagen Caddy has recorded 188,929 miles. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of brake system failures in 2024 and 2025, alongside ongoing tyre degradation. While it holds a current MOT, the most recent test identifies three tyres that are either worn close to the legal limit or damaged.
