2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · RE13 CMK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean testing record over the last three years. Following the recent test on 22 April 2025 at 126,149 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a period of consistent maintenance following a failure in early 2022, suggesting the previous owner addressed any immediate mechanical concerns and subsequently maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady growth from 96,873 miles in February 2022 to 126,149 miles in April 2025. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals and brake corrosion. The gap between the February 2022 and April 2023 tests shows a slight shift in scheduling, but the subsequent annual tests have followed a standard inspection interval. While the recent history shows no faults, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for the Volkswagen Caddy platform. Given the mileage, pay close attention to the front wish arm bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after a hundred thousand miles. The chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion particularly around the sills and rear arches, as the MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a significant failure threshold. The lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests suggests the braking system and exhaust are currently in good condition, but a manual check for brake pipe corrosion or exhaust thinning remains prudent.
