2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · YY67 WKF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 63,454 miles, the vehicle initially failed due to multiple tyre defects and a faulty rear fog lamp tell-tale. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurring presence of perishing rubber and uneven wear suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten MOT compliance rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a recorded gap of 4,000 miles between January 2023 and December 2023, followed by nearly 6,000 miles covered between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests moderate use, which generally limits the mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though the long intervals between tests may explain the atmospheric cracking and perishing noted in the tyre rubber despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows repeated inner-edge wear on the front tyres in both 2023 and 2025. This points to a persistent misalignment or worn suspension bushes that require professional adjustment. Furthermore, the December 2024 test at 56,656 miles flagged pitted and scored brake discs across all wheels alongside an exhaust leak. You should verify that the exhaust system has been replaced or repaired and check the brake calipers for signs of binding or excessive corrosion, as the history indicates the braking components were reaching the end of their service life recently.
