Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The latest test conducted on 11 December 2025 at 114,084 miles resulted in a clean pass, following an initial failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle meets legal standards. The lack of any recorded advisories across the last three passes indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently performing within acceptable tolerances. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression, moving from 93,394 miles in December 2023 to 105,056 miles in December 2024, and then another 9,000 miles by the end of 2025. This regular usage profile suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals, fluid degradation, or seized brake calipers in low-mile vans. While the recent passes are clean, the recurring failures immediately preceding the passes in 2024 and 2025 warrant a close physical inspection. Since the records do not list specific defects for those initial failures, they likely related to minor items such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor emissions adjustments that were rectified quickly. A buyer should still verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on the Caddy at this mileage. Checking for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust system is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity matches the clean MOT history.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict

Exercise significant caution before purc

A thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems is essential. The December 2025 MOT failure included multiple issues with suspension arm pins, bushes, and anti-roll bar linkages, which suggests the chassis may require attention. You should also verify if the missing offside rear road wheel fixing noted in late 2025 has been properly addressed with correct hardware.

Negotiate based on the recent history of wear. The vehicle has shown a recurring trend of tyre wear and brake pad depletion. Ask for evidence of recent service history to see if the mechanical maintenance has kept pace with the frequent MOT advisory items. Given the diesel engine and high mileage, checking the timing belt interval and the condition of the turbocharger would be prudent.

The 1598cc diesel engine is typically found in a moderate insurance group, though the exact group depends on the specific trim level. Fuel economy for a Caddy of this era is generally efficient for long-distance driving, but costs will vary based on load and driving style.

Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the frequency of replacements required for tyres, brakes, and suspension components as evidenced by the MOT history. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic oil changes and potential diesel particulate filter (DPF) considerations at this mileage. Estimated annual running costs are moderately high due to the vehicle's age and usage profile.

Pay close attention to the front suspension; the MOT history specifically highlights worn suspension arm pins, bushes, and anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers. A test drive is necessary to check for knocks or knocks from the front end that might indicate lingering suspension issues.

Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The records show a history of thin brake pads on both front and rear axles across different tests. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres, as the vehicle has previously failed for cuts in the sidewall and uneven wear on the inner edges, which could indicate alignment issues. Finally, ensure all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamp and rear fog lamp, is fully operational, as these have been recurring failure points.

This 2014 black Volkswagen Caddy 1.6 TDI has covered 114,084 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. While it passed its most recent test, the vehicle has a history of significant MOT failures, most notably a high number of defects recorded in December 2025. The mileage is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, but the maintenance patterns reflected in the MOT records suggest frequent issues with consumables and suspension components.

No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volkswagen Caddy model to provide a comparative baseline.
