2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · YY14 UTE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 189,835 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows a single failure on 20 December 2022 at 132,837 miles, followed by consistent passes, indicating a stable to improving pattern after that incident. Mileage accumulation between the 2022 and 2023 tests rose by 37,865 miles in roughly eleven months, then slowed to 13,690 miles over the next year and only 5,440 miles before the latest test. The average of about 15,800 miles per year is high for a 2014 model, suggesting heavy use and increased wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension components. The gap of almost eleven months between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests also points to a lapse in regular MOT scheduling. A buyer should inspect the brake system for worn discs, binding calipers and adequate pad thickness, the suspension for deteriorated bushes and coil‑spring condition, and tyre tread depth across all wheels. The exhaust should be checked for corrosion and leaks, while the underbody and wheel arches need scrutiny for rust given the high mileage. The unexplained failure in December 2022, despite no recorded defects, warrants a review of any repair invoices or fault codes that may not appear in the MOT entry. Given the long interval between tests, a pre‑purchase mechanical examination is essential to verify that no emerging issues have developed since the November 2025 pass. A thorough inspection of structural integrity, including the chassis and door hinges, together with a service‑history review, will help confirm whether the vehicle has been maintained to a standard consistent with its mileage.
