2019 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RA68 YVC

The Volkswagen Caddy in question demonstrates a consistently stable roadworthiness profile, with all four MOT tests passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test, conducted on March 18, 2025 , at 70,898 miles , confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards for brakes, emissions, suspension, and structural integrity. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or progressive failures in the record, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance beyond MOT scope. The mileage progression suggests typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging 10,128 miles per year over the recorded period. The intervals between tests align with the annual MOT cycle, with no unusual gaps or rapid mileage spikes. For instance, the vehicle accrued 14,766 miles between the February 2022 and February 2023 tests, a rate consistent with the overall trend. While lower mileage could indicate periods of disuse, the record does not reveal any extended inactivity that might accelerate wear on fluids or seals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as these are common wear items not always flagged in a basic MOT. The brake system , including rear calipers and discs , warrants close examination for uneven wear or binding, despite no MOT failures. Exhaust emissions and catalytic converter efficiency should also be verified, as these are tested annually but can degrade silently. Finally, underbody corrosion —especially around the sill panels and wheel arches —should be assessed, as this is a critical long-term risk for vans of this age, even if not always captured in MOT findings.
