2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · YY18 DBX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 103,010 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all legal standards. This stability suggests the previous owners maintained a proactive maintenance schedule, as the vehicle has avoided failures across the last five annual inspections. The mileage data reveals a significant increase in usage over the vehicle's later life. Between March 2021 and April 2022, the car covered 12,364 miles, showing standard usage. However, the rate accelerated sharply between March 2024 and August 2025, where the vehicle clocked 22,806 miles in just 17 months. This average of approximately 16,000 miles per year is high for an eight-year-old light commercial vehicle and indicates heavy annual use on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. Given the high mileage and recent accumulation, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to heavy-duty wear. A buyer must examine the suspension for signs of perished rubber bushes or leaking shock absorbers, which often degrade under high-mileage cycles. The braking system should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, as the increased mileage puts significant stress on these components. Additionally, while the MOT record is clean, the chassis should be inspected for surface corrosion to ensure that the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
