This 2012 Volkswagen has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 14,439 miles. The recent MOT pass in March 2026 is a positive, but this timing belt issue must be verified as resolved or factored into the purchase price.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage averaging 11,163 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent MOT pass in March 2026 confirms current mileage integrity.
Things to check
- 2012 timing belt degradation is a known model weakness for this Caddy, posing a significant immediate engine risk.
- One minor failure in 2016 for the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and worn rear brake discs.
- The 2012 timing belt issue is a known model-specific weakness, not a one-off failure, and requires urgent verification.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,163 miles/year, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
- Most recent MOT pass in March 2026 is a positive, confirming current roadworthiness and no recent failures.
