2019 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RO69 CMX

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, passing its most recent test in November 2025 at 27,515 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recurring mechanical issue is evident. While the vehicle failed in December 2023 due to low headlamp aim, the faults were rectified immediately, and subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the owner is addressing identified defects promptly. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 27,515 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 3,900 miles. The usage pattern is remarkably consistent, with an increase of roughly 1,100 miles between the December 2023 tests and another 1,500 miles leading into late 2024. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and brake components due to inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front hydraulic brake calipers. The MOT record flagged corrosion on both front calipers in December 2023 and specifically noted the nearside front unit in November 2025. Although the tester deemed these not yet seriously weakened, persistent corrosion on low-mileage vehicles often leads to seized pistons or binding if not monitored. Check for uneven pad wear or any pitting on the brake discs to ensure the corrosion is not progressing toward structural failure of the caliper housing.
