2021 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · WM21 BVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding brake component condition. The most recent test in November 2025 at 29,246 miles resulted in advisories for pitting and scoring on all four inner brake discs. This mirrors the advisory from the January 2025 test at 19,245 miles, where all four discs showed the same deterioration. While the vehicle passed these tests, the persistence of surface corrosion suggests the discs are not being addressed. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,850 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2024 at 6,607 miles and the January 2025 test at 19,245 miles, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in eleven months. This erratic usage pattern, characterized by periods of standing, likely explains the accelerated oxidation and pitting on the brake rotors noted in the MOT records. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system to ensure the pitting on the discs has not progressed to thinning or structural failure. The recurring nature of these faults across both axles indicates that the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, allowing rust to form on metal surfaces. Additionally, the nearside windscreen chip noted in November 2025 should be monitored for spreading, as it could eventually obstruct the driver's view and necessitate a replacement.
