Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 188,547 miles, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the 1.6L diesel engine and the turbocharger. Ensure you request a detailed service history, as high-mileage diesel engines require strict adherence to oil change intervals to prevent component failure.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT advisories. Although the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, the 2025 record highlighted worn tyres and suspension play. Check that any components identified in previous tests, such as the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, have been replaced and not just monitored.
As a 1598cc diesel, this Caddy is designed for efficiency, but running costs will be influenced by its age and mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel van of this era, though performance may vary depending on maintenance.
Insurance groups for the Caddy vary, but you should obtain a specific quote for RE14YDL. Maintenance costs for a vehicle with nearly 190,000 miles are likely to be higher than average, as components like suspension, brakes, and timing belts reach the end of their typical lifespans.
Specifically inspect the suspension components. The 2025 MOT noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint; verify this has been rectified. Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres, as the 2025 test flagged two front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit.
Under the bonnet, look for signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can be common in high-mileage 1.6L TDI engines. Check the underside for significant corrosion, which is a standard check for a 12-year-old vehicle, and ensure the brake discs and pads have sufficient life remaining given the recent mileage increases.
This 2014 blue Volkswagen Caddy has covered 188,547 miles since its first registration in June 2014. The MOT history shows a relatively stable pattern, though the 2025 inspection identified issues with tyres and an anti-roll bar linkage. The vehicle has transitioned from several clean MOTs to showing wear-and-tear items in its recent history.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volkswagen Caddy model to provide a statistical comparison.
