2016 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RF02 CRF

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile that shows signs of worsening towards the end of its recorded history. While the 2024-12-14 test at 102,597 miles showed no defects, the most recent inspection on 2025-11-28 at 110,066 miles flagged several advisories. These include a worn nearside front tyre, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and worn anti-roll bar pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside rear. The increase in advisory items suggests that wear on consumables and suspension components is beginning to accumulate. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 49,218 miles in April 2019 to 110,066 miles in November 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the jump from the March 2022 test to the January 2024 test shows a period of roughly 21 months between inspections. This pattern indicates the vehicle has been used regularly for work or commuting. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The January 2024 test at 95,342 miles highlighted pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs, alongside imbalanced rear brakes. Although the December 2024 test reported no defects, the recurring issues with brake disc surfaces and the recent advisories for anti-roll bar bushes suggest the chassis and running gear are under active wear. The presence of windscreen damage and tyre wear advisories indicates that basic maintenance of consumables is sometimes overlooked. I recommend checking the current condition of all suspension bushings and ensuring the braking system has been fully serviced rather than just meeting minimum requirements. The worn anti-roll bar components noted in the latest test will likely require replacement soon to prevent excessive movement or noise.
