Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sol
When inspecting this specific Caddy, pay close attention to the front suspension. The most recent MOT in April 2026 noted slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint, so you should check if this has been rectified or if it remains an advisory.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repair of the fractured nearside front coil spring that caused the 2025 failure. While the 2026 test passed, ensuring that all suspension components were replaced with quality parts is vital for a vehicle of this type. Given the 1968cc diesel engine, also verify if the timing belt (cambelt) is due for replacement according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a significant maintenance item for this engine size.
As a 2.0L Euro 6 diesel, this Caddy is designed for efficiency, though running costs will depend heavily on annual mileage. Being Euro 6 compliant, it is generally exempt from many current Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges in major UK cities, which is a significant cost saving for commercial users.
Expect typical diesel fuel economy for a small van and moderate insurance groups. Maintenance costs for Volkswagen commercial vehicles tend to be higher than budget brands, but the relatively low mileage recorded (32,617 miles) suggests that major component replacements should not be imminent. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension assembly. The MOT history specifically highlights a broken nearside front coil spring in 2025 and a track rod end ball joint with 'slight play' in 2026. Test the steering for any knocks or play when turning the wheel at low speeds.
Additionally, inspect the tyres and brakes. While no specific tyre or brake defects were recorded in the recent history, these are high-wear items on vans. Check the service history for evidence of oil changes, as the 1968cc engine requires consistent lubrication to maintain reliability.
This 2019 blue Volkswagen Caddy has covered 32,617 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. The vehicle shows a history of passing its tests, with one recorded failure in 2025 due to a fractured nearside front coil spring. Overall, the mileage is relatively low for a seven-year-old diesel van, suggesting it may have been used for light duties rather than heavy commercial work.
