Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Given the high mileage and the complex nature of the 2024 MOT failure, you should request evidence that the ABS, electronic power steering, and electronic stability control faults were professionally rectified. A simple 'pass' on a later test does not guarantee the underlying electronic issues are fully resolved or that the system is performing at optimum capacity.
Negotiate based on the recent advisory regarding the nearside front suspension arm bush. You should also check the service history specifically for timing belt/water pump intervals, which are critical on this 1.6L diesel engine, especially given the vehicle has surpassed 150,000 miles. Ensure all four tyres have significant tread remaining, as the history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Caddy is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy for commercial or utility use. However, at 152,401 miles, you should budget for more frequent component replacements, particularly for suspension and braking systems which have appeared repeatedly in MOT records.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Caddy are generally moderate, but the high mileage may influence insurance premiums. Expect typical maintenance costs to be slightly higher due to the age and mileage of the vehicle. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be in the mid-range for a diesel van of this size.
Pay close attention to the electronic systems. The 2024 MOT failure specifically flagged warning lamps for the ABS, Electronic Power Steering, and Electronic Stability Control; verify these are no longer present and that no warning lights illuminate during a test drive.
Inspect the suspension and tyres thoroughly. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of worn tyres (both front and rear) and issues with anti-roll bar pins, bushes, and linkages. Check the nearside front suspension arm specifically, as it was noted as worn in the May 2026 test. Finally, check the brake pads and discs, as the history shows a pattern of thin pads and fluctuating brake performance.
This 2013 silver Volkswagen Caddy has covered 152,401 miles as of May 2026. The MOT history shows a significant failure in May 2024 involving ABS, steering, and stability control faults, alongside several recurring issues with tyres and suspension components. While the most recent test in 2026 passed, the vehicle has a history of frequent maintenance requirements regarding consumables and suspension.
