2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · VE67 DXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 58,526 miles passed, the tester flagged immediate issues with front tyre wear and pitted offside brake discs. This follows a pattern seen in October 2024 where the vehicle initially failed due to thin rear brake pads, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach the point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 43,869 miles and the October 2025 test at 58,526 miles, the vehicle covered 14,657 miles, indicating steady and light usage patterns. This low annual mileage generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods between uses. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows recurring pitted and scored discs across both front and rear axles in 2024 and 2025. The failure for offside rear brake pads in 2024 indicates that brake service intervals may be neglected. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding front tyres being worn unevenly on the edges suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check to prevent premature tyre replacement. The deteriorated registration plate noted in 2022 and 2024 should also be verified to ensure legal compliance with visibility standards.
