2008 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · WG08 KZD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 27 December 2025 at 116,946 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness trend. While the record shows a technical failure on the same date as the most recent pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor equipment calibration issue rather than a mechanical fault. The history is remarkably consistent, with four consecutive clean passes since January 2023, reflecting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring advisories. The recorded mileage of 116,946 miles over an 18-year lifespan averages approximately 6,500 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The rate of accumulation remains steady, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the January 2024 and December 2024 tests, and a similar interval leading up to the final inspection. This consistent usage suggests the Caddy has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which typically helps prevent issues related to seized components or degraded seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not always captured by the MOT, specifically the condition of the drivetrain and the structural integrity of the load area. Given the age of the vehicle, perform a thorough check for corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and chassis rails, as these are common failure points for the Caddy platform. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these components often show wear at this mileage even if they have not yet triggered an MOT failure. Verify the operation of the clutch and gearbox, as these high-wear items are not covered by the annual test but represent significant potential costs for the next owner.
