2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RJ67 XDS

The 2018 Volkswagen Caddy presents a highly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT record. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 90,508 miles passed with zero defects, mirroring the flawless passes recorded in October 2024, October 2023, and the second test in October 2022. An anomaly exists in the 2022 record where a fail and a pass occurred on the same day at 75,645 miles, yet neither lists specific defects, suggesting an administrative quirk or an immediately rectified minor issue. Since that date, the vehicle has operated without generating any advisories or failures, indicating diligent upkeep and a resolving trend of any prior minor faults. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's lifespan. While the overall average suggests roughly 11,314 miles per year, the recent MOT intervals tell a different story. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the Caddy covered just 4,379 miles, followed by 5,276 miles over the next twelve months, and 5,208 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This recent average of approximately 5,000 miles per year points to significantly lighter use or extended periods of standing, which carries its own mechanical implications despite the low mileage. Given the recent low-mileage operation, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged inactivity rather than high wear. Tyres should be checked closely for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, as a vehicle covering only 5,000 miles annually often sits stationary for long durations. Brake discs and calipers require assessment for surface corrosion and binding, common issues when a van is not regularly driven to clear rust buildup. The exhaust system and underbody must be scrutinised for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been standing in damp conditions. Although the MOT record shows no structural or mechanical red flags, the shift from higher historical mileage to recent light use demands a thorough physical inspection of rubber bushes, seals, and fluid condition to confirm the vehicle has not suffered from dormancy.
