2010 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · RV10 ACZ

The 2010 Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 confirming no defects at 173,790 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance since 2022, with passes in 2025 and 2023, interrupted only by a failure in 2023-06-13 that recorded no specific defects. This suggests the owner addressed any issues promptly, as subsequent tests show no recurring problems. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest test indicates the car has been well-maintained, though its age and mileage necessitate scrutiny of high-mileage components. The vehicle’s mileage of 173,790 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 10,862 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, gaps between MOTs reveal irregularity in testing frequency. The 14-month interval between 2022-04-28 (158,506 miles) and 2023-06-13 (164,121 miles) may reflect reduced usage or delayed maintenance, while the 15-month gap to the 2025-01-23 test (168,982 miles) raises questions about potential wear during that period. The lack of defects in the most recent test, however, offsets some concerns, suggesting proactive care. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with high mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding, which can develop over time. Corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, and exhaust system integrity should also be assessed, as both are susceptible to age-related deterioration. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the vehicle’s longevity and usage pattern justify a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm continued reliability.
