2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · SM63 EYU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 19 March 2026 at 194,437 miles returned no defects whatsoever, maintaining a trend of perfect passes spanning the last five recorded years. This stability suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the previous owners have likely addressed any emerging wear-and-tear issues before they could result in a failure or an advisory. The mileage accumulation is consistent and heavy, reflecting an average of approximately 15,000 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 146,390 miles and March 2026 at 194,437 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 48,000 miles with regular use. While this high mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, the lack of recorded MOT failures indicates that the vehicle has handled this load without mechanical neglect. The absence of large gaps between testing intervals suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which often prevents the internal corrosion issues associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean digital records, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to high-mileage stress. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade near the 200,000-mile mark. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear on discs is also essential given the usage patterns. Finally, a close inspection of the chassis and sills is vital to ensure that the high annual mileage has not accelerated structural corrosion in areas prone to road salt.
