Our Verdict
This 2014 Volkswagen Caddy shows mixed reliability signs, with recent MOT failures suggesting potential maintenance risks, but its below-average mileage and mostly clean history offer value for a practical van.
Prioritise checking the suspension system for further bush wear and inspect the windscreen for chips or cracks that may have caused the 2025 failure. Verify the vehicle's service history for tyre maintenance records, as the 2024 MOT noted a near-legal tyre. Negotiate a discount for repair costs related to the 2025 failures. Be cautious of potential hidden bodywork damage from the windscreen issue. Confirm the vehicle has a full service history to validate its low mileage for age.
As a 1.6L diesel van, expect fuel economy of 40-50 mpg on the motorway. Tax is £225 annually (2017-2025) for CO2 emissions of 149g/km. Insurance group 16-18 is typical for this class. Major maintenance costs may arise from suspension repairs (estimated £300-£500) and windscreen replacement (£150-£300). Annual running costs range £1,200-£1,600 including servicing and parts.
Inspect suspension bushes for further wear, especially on the offside front as noted in MOTs. Check the windscreen for cracks or chips that may have contributed to the 2025 failure. Examine the registration plate lamp wiring for faults. Review tyre tread depth and condition, as the 2024 MOT highlighted edge wear. Look for signs of bodywork damage around the windscreen area. Verify that all MOT defects were properly repaired before purchase.
The 2014 Volkswagen Caddy has a mostly clean MOT history except for recent suspension, windscreen, and lighting issues. At 96,758 miles (12 years old), its mileage is slightly below average for its age, but repeated MOT failures raise concerns. No model-wide reliability data is available, but specific issues like worn suspension bushes and windscreen damage require scrutiny.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Volkswagen Caddy model, but specific issues like suspension bush wear and lighting faults observed here are common in older diesel vans of this era.
