2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · SY67 LBP

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health regarding its official roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent pass on 12 July 2025 at 24,288 miles. The record indicates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has achieved four consecutive passes without a single advisory notice. While the 7 July 2025 test resulted in a failure, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely a clerical error or a minor administrative issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical deficiency, given that the vehicle passed five days later with no changes to its condition. Low annual usage defines the history of this Volkswagen Caddy, which has covered only 24,288 miles over its nine-year lifespan. This equates to an average of approximately 2,700 miles per year, a figure significantly below the industry standard for a commercial vehicle. The progression of mileage remains consistent, showing steady, incremental usage between November 2022 and July 2025. Such limited mileage often points to light-duty cycles, though potential buyers should remain aware that extended periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues with seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or degraded fluids that do not always manifest during a standard MOT inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that suffer from lack of use rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as these are common on vehicles that sit for long periods. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for signs of cracking or perishing due to age. Verify that the engine starts cleanly from cold and that there are no signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay or undercarriage. Although the MOT history is exemplary, a visual check of the tyres for sidewall cracking remains prudent given the low annual mileage.
