2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · RO62 YSL

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 160,521 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed on the same day at 160,519 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 11,466 miles per year over its fourteen-year lifespan. Between October 2022 and November 2025, the odometer climbed from 115,854 to 160,521 miles. The steady increase in distance between annual tests indicates regular use without prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories across the last four years is unusual for a high-mileage commercial vehicle. Most Caddy models of this era show evidence of suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, or corrosion on the chassis and sills. The lack of flagged issues suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime by the previous owner or a lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points that may not have been highlighted in the records. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the brake discs for lip wear given the 160,000-mile total. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the underbody and wheel arches to ensure no surface corrosion has been overlooked.
