2006 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · RF06 GOJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of minor-related failures. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 192,029 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in previous years were successfully rectified. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2022 and 2024, the transition to clean passes suggests the current owner is willing to perform necessary repairs to maintain legal road standards. At 192,029 miles, the Caddy has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, notably with roughly 3,000 miles covered between July 2022 and July 2024, and another 4,000 miles recorded between July 2024 and August 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in older systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the high mileage on a 2006 chassis places significant stress on the subframe and mounting points. Given the previous failures prior to clean passes, a close look for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting pans is essential, as these are common failure points for this model. The buyer should also check for excessive play in the suspension bushes and control arm joints, as the nearly 200,000-mile mark often sees the end of functional life for these mechanical components regardless of the MOT pass status.
