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.
