2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · W90 TAY

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy following its most recent test, with a pass recorded on 18 December 2025 at 160,056 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the three years of available records. The December 2025 and December 2024 tests each show a fail and pass logged on the same day at identical mileages with no defects cited, which points to administrative rejections or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. No recurring advisories or worsening conditions appear in the data. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,400 miles per year against the vehicle's 2012 build, a typical figure for a light commercial of this age. The records show 144,121 miles in December 2023, 153,079 miles in December 2024, and 160,056 miles in December 2025, equating to about 9,000 and 7,000 miles covered in the respective intervals. The clean pass sheets with zero advisories across all three tests suggest the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test, though the sparse history leaves suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion unobserved by the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Caddy's fourteen years and 160,000 miles. The same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 warrant confirmation that no genuine brake disc, binding caliper, or exhaust emissions fault was masked by a clerical retry. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and steering linkage wear in person, as the MOT sheets recorded no minor consumable notes that a careful owner would normally accrue on a high-mileage van.
