AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 11,627 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 5,868 miles per year, with a significant 2023 MOT gap suggesting potential off-road periods or unverified maintenance.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures (Dec 2020, Dec 2021, Jan 2026) and advisories (Jun 2019, Jan 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Major tyre failures (Dec 2020, Dec 2021) and advisories (Jun 2019, Dec 2020) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
  • A 2023 MOT gap (no test recorded) is a significant red flag for unverified maintenance or off-road periods.
  • The 2012 VW Caddy is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,868 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
