2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · PO68 XFM

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of concern. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 152,510 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the minimum legal standards. This follows a sequence of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle effectively despite the high-usage profile. The mileage pattern is significant for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 62,053 miles and the October 2023 test at 96,668 miles, the vehicle covered over 34,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation continued into the subsequent year, with another 36,700 miles recorded between October 2023 and 2024. Such high mileage typically indicates long-distance motorway or commercial use, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as high-mileage vans often suffer worn control arms, shock absorbers, and coil springs. While the 2023 failure at 96,668 miles did not specify the defect type, the subsequent immediate pass suggests a repair was carried out. Attention should be paid to the brake discs for signs of thinning or uneven wear, given the high mileage which places heavy stress on the braking system. Given the age and usage, checking for structural corrosion along the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the integrity of the chassis.
