2009 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.5L Diesel · YG09 VOY

The 2009 Volkswagen Caravelle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 155,730 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the full five-year span, indicating the vehicle has not developed any worsening condition that would concern a buyer on paper. Mileage has accumulated in a steady, age-consistent pattern. The test on 10 February 2023 logged 124,593 miles, rising to 135,176 by 1 February 2024, then 145,947 by 1 February 2025, and 155,730 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, marginally above the 9,161-mile annual average for its age but well within normal used-car tolerance. The DVSA data is sparse in detail, with every entry showing a pass and no defects, so no consumable wear or structural concern is documented. A duplicate failure and pass on 1 February 2025 at 145,947 miles appears as an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, since both entries list no defects recorded. The buyer should still verify in person that the V5C and test certificate match this mileage and confirm no suppressed advisory exists from that date. Given the clean history, physical inspection should focus on typical high-mileage wear not captured by MOT pass results: front suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion on the sills and subframes. The Caravelle's age means rubber components and exhaust hangers may be degraded despite no tester flags. A pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and binding calipers remains sensible on a 155,730-mile van.
