2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · SP14 RGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards minor wear issues. While the most recent test on June 4 2025 at 58,520 miles passed, it introduced an advisory for front tyres being low on one edge. This indicates an alignment issue or uneven wear that was not present in the previous year. Despite this, the vehicle has maintained a passing record for the last three years, suggesting the mechanical condition remains stable under current usage. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 4,877 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Data between the September 2022 test at 48,866 miles and the June 2025 test at 58,520 miles shows a steady accumulation of roughly 3,200 miles annually. Low mileage generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and engine, but can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or seizing of brake components if the vehicle sat for long periods without regular operation. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension, as the failure in August 2023 revealed excessively worn rear bushes on both the nearside and offside lower suspension arms. Although these were rectified to pass the test, a physical inspection should verify that the parts were replaced and that no further play remains. The uneven tyre wear noted in 2025 also necessitates a professional alignment check to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Additionally, ensure the rear registration plate lamp remains functional, as this was a previous point of failure.
