2010 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RO60 SVR

This Volkswagen Caddy demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past five years, with the most recent MOT test on 17 September 2025—just over a year ago—resulting in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. The absence of recurring failures or advisory notes across all tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though no evidence of proactive servicing or component replacements is visible in the record. The final pass date aligns with current DVSA guidelines, meaning the vehicle remains legally roadworthy for the time being, but buyers should verify whether the owner has adhered to manufacturer-recommended service intervals beyond MOT requirements. The recorded mileage of 187,887 miles at the time of the latest test reflects a consistent annual average of approximately 11,743 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the record lacks intermediate service dates to confirm whether routine maintenance—such as brake fluid changes, timing belt checks, or suspension servicing—has been conducted. The most notable anomaly is the duplicate entry for October 2023, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same date, which may indicate a clerical error or a brief rectification of a minor issue before retesting. This irregularity, however, does not suggest a pattern of neglect. Given the lack of defects in recent MOTs, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common points of failure in vans of this age and mileage. Brake systems warrant close scrutiny: while no binding calipers or excessive wear were recorded, the rear brakes have not been specifically tested for wear depth or uneven pad thickness. Structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, is also critical, especially given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure to road salt and moisture. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as catalytic converter failures or cracked manifolds are often silent until they become a pass/fail issue.
