2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · YP14 VBU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 12 November 2025 at 75,689 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. The fact that the failure record did not list specific defects suggests a minor administrative or superficial issue was rectified immediately. Since 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across multiple consecutive annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with low to moderate usage for a twelve-year-old van, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 65,033 miles and November 2024 at 70,627 miles, the vehicle covered 5,594 miles. A further interval of 5,062 miles was recorded in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady, low accumulation generally reduces wear on high-stress components like the engine and gearbox, though it can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components due to inactivity. While the digital record is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common Caddy wear points that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Given the age of the vehicle, check the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches where corrosion often initiates. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of mileage. The low mileage also warrants checking the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequently used brakes are prone to surface rust and mechanical binding.
