2006 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · PK06 RFN

The March 2026 MOT at 245,125 miles confirms roadworthiness with advisory defects, indicating that the vehicle remains legally operable but requires attention. Recurring suspension wear, corroded rear coil springs and severely deteriorated drive shaft boots since 2021 show a pattern of neglect that has persisted rather than improved. The mileage trajectory reveals a steep acceleration: from 190,068 miles in January 2020 to 245,125 miles by March 2026 represents an increase of 55,057 miles over six years, or roughly 9,176 miles per year, far above the average for a 20‑year‑old van. The 2023 to 2024 test shows a 16,643‑mile jump in a single year, suggesting periods of intensive use or extended standing intervals that are not reflected in the record. A buyer should therefore examine the front lower suspension arm pin and bush for play, inspect the rear coil springs for corrosion and fatigue, verify the integrity of the constant‑velocity drive shaft boots, assess the condition of the rear brake discs and pads for the serious weakening noted in 2013, and look for any binding calipers or structural rust on the chassis and suspension components.
