2020 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · VE20 KMF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of deferred maintenance regarding the braking system and tyres. The latest test in July 2025 at 54,107 miles shows a pass despite multiple advisories for pitted and scored brake discs on both axles, along with thin rear brake pads. This trend of allowing brake components to reach significant degradation has persisted across the last three annual inspections, suggesting the owner addresses faults only when legally necessary rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a light-use commercial profile, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 34,099 miles and the August 2024 test at 45,086 miles, the vehicle covered 11,000 miles, while another 9,021 miles were recorded by the July 2025 test. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is not subjected to extreme mileage, yet the recurring wear on consumables is disproportionate to such low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking assembly and tyre condition. The repeated advisories for pitted and scored discs indicate that the vehicle likely sits for extended periods or is driven in environments that allow corrosion to affect the metal surfaces. The 2025 advisory regarding perishing and cracking rear tyres suggests the rubber compound is failing due to age, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Furthermore, the missing rear passenger seats noted in all three tests should be checked for any potential damage to the floor mounting points or structural integrity where the seats were bolted.
