2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · RV64 AEC

The Volkswagen Caddy presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its five most recent tests, culminating in a pass at 22,231 miles on 14 November 2025—just eight months ago. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in critical areas, with no signs of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The sole failure entry on 4 December 2024 at 16,943 miles is anomalous, as it carried no defects, implying a procedural or administrative error rather than a vehicle-related concern. For a 12-year-old vehicle with low mileage, this level of compliance is uncommon and indicates either meticulous servicing or prolonged periods of minimal use. The mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual average of around 1,853 miles, far below the typical wear expectations for its age. Between December 2022 and December 2024, the odometer advanced by just 8,027 miles over two years—a pattern that either reflects light commercial use or extended periods of inactivity. The most recent 5,288-mile jump between December 2024 and November 2025 suggests a slight uptick in activity, though still well below average. Such low mileage reduces wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain, but it also means fluids like brake fluid, coolant, and differential oil may have degraded over time due to stagnation. Given the absence of defects, a buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushings—should be checked for stiffness or leaks, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop internal wear if not regularly driven. Brakes, despite no MOT advisories, warrant inspection for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods. Structural integrity is less of a concern with this history, but a thorough check for surface corrosion on sills, wheel arches, and underbody is prudent. Finally, while the MOT record is flawless, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm fluid levels and condition, as well as tyre age, since tread depth alone doesn’t account for dry rot in low-mileage scenarios.
