2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · WA64 YGD

The Volkswagen Caddy presents a highly stable maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its recent history. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 53,853 miles passed cleanly with zero defects or advisories recorded. This unbroken string of flawless MOT outcomes indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically sound and free of developing faults over the last five years. The mileage accumulation tells a distinct story of exceptionally low usage. Between 28 August 2021 at 50,448 miles and 22 August 2022 at 51,140 miles, the van covered just 692 miles, a pattern of minimal use that persisted through the following years. By the 2024 test at 53,292 miles, the annual distance had only reached 905 miles, dropping further to 561 miles by the August 2025 test. Such low annual mileage, averaging roughly 4,488 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan, suggests prolonged periods of standing rather than sustained daily driving. Despite the pristine MOT record, the extremely low mileage warrants a physical inspection of components that deteriorate from standing rather than use. A buyer must inspect the tyres thoroughly, checking the sidewall date codes and tread depth, as rubber perishes with age regardless of mileage. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for surface corrosion and potential binding caused by short journeys and standing. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing or sagging. The exhaust system and underbody demand a rigorous examination for corrosion, as a vehicle covering such short distances may not reach optimal operating temperatures long enough to evaporate moisture, accelerating structural rust formation.
