2011 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Petrol · WH05 ECU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in January 2026 with 120,326 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the owner addressed the multiple failures identified in late 2024. While the 2024 test failed due to thin brake pads, worn tyres, and lighting issues, the clean pass six months later indicates that these safety-critical items were rectified before the subsequent test. At 120,326 miles over 15 years, the Caddy averages approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 3,600 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 3,200 miles recorded between October 2024 and January 2026. This regularity suggests steady use rather than long periods of stationary storage which could lead to component degradation. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension and alignment, as the record repeatedly flags front tyres worn on the edge in 2023 and 2024. This recurring wear often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes requiring adjustment. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2022; while the pads were replaced recently, the physical condition of the discs remains relevant to ensure they are not thin or warped. The offside front seat belt webbing was flagged as frayed in both 2022 and 2023. Although it did not appear in the most recent test, a physical check of the webbing is advised. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a thorough inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody is also essential, as the MOT record does not provide detail on the current state of rust beyond the specific failure points.
