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

This 2005 Volkswagen has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 91,279 miles. The vehicle's 21-year age, combined with a complete absence of recent MOT data, makes it an unacceptably high-risk purchase.

The vehicle has a single recorded mileage of 141,503 miles in June 2019, with no subsequent MOT history to verify consistency or progression.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT certificate since 2000-12-10, making it illegal to drive on public roads.
  • Mileage of 141,503 miles in June 2019 is the only recorded reading, with no subsequent MOT history.
  • The 2008-04-11 MOT pass is the only recorded test, with no subsequent retests or advisories.
  • The 2009-05-16 test shows a failure for a rear stop lamp and registration plate lamp, but no subsequent pass or advisory.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No recorded failures or advisories on the 2008-04-11 MOT test.
  • The 2005 Volkswagen Caddy has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity.
  • The 1.9 TDI engine is known for its reliability and long-term durability.
