2009 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · PK09 WPA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 with 214,780 miles. While the record shows a failure just two weeks prior on 8 October at 214,467 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a clerical re-test rather than a significant mechanical failure. Since October 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories, indicating a consistent level of basic maintenance despite the high mileage figures. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 214,780 reflects an average annual usage of approximately 12,600 miles. The data shows a steady usage pattern, notably with roughly 13,000 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for regular transit rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often benefits engine seals and battery health. The high mileage does place significant strain on drivetrain components and suspension, but the clean MOT history suggests proactive ownership. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframe, as these are common areas of concern for a Caddy of this era. Given the high mileage, perform a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of excessive wear or tearing. Although the MOT record shows no brake defects, a check for binding calipers or thin brake discs is necessary as these are high-wear items that require replacement over two hundred thousand miles.
