2016 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RF16 PXS

This 2016 Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 January 2026 at 65,756 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a strong result. The vehicle has moved from a pattern of recurring brake and tyre advisories in earlier years to a fully defect-free status, suggesting the last keeper addressed consumable wear more diligently than their predecessors. The MOT record shows no corrosion, structural, or suspension-related failures at any point, which is encouraging for a ten-year-old commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. From the November 2022 test at 42,562 miles through the January 2024 test at 50,559 miles, the van covered roughly 8,000 miles in thirteen months. The step from January 2024 to January 2026 shows approximately 15,200 miles over two years, or around 7,600 miles annually. That sits comfortably within the typical range for a vehicle of this age and type. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would raise concerns about clocking or prolonged standing. The recurring theme across the 2022 and 2024 tests was rear brake disc wear and scoring, accompanied by thin rear pads and deteriorating rear tyres. A buyer should physically inspect the rear brake discs for lipping, scoring, and thickness variation, and check the pad material remaining. The rear tyres showed uneven wear patterns in earlier records, particularly inner edge wear on the nearside, which can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues. Have the rear wheel alignment and suspension bushes checked, especially the trailing arm bushes common on Caddy platforms. The front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in November 2022, so verify their current condition and inspect the front discs for any heat cracking or uneven wear. Given the clean January 2026 result, the braking system appears to have been refreshed, but a road test under firm braking will confirm there is no pulling, judder, or binding.
