This 2012 Volkswagen has 12 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 30,170 miles. While it shows normal mileage for its age, a significant timing belt issue is a known model weakness that requires immediate verification.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 10,691 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious readings across 8 MOT tests.
Things to check
- Jan 2025: Front brake disc worn, pitted (advisory).
- 2012–2017: Community-reported timing belt degradation and water pump failure for 2.9/3.0 V6 Cayenne/Q7 engines are a known model weakness for this Caddy model.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects.
- Consistent mileage: Normal annual usage of 10,691 miles/year, no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for two years.
