This 2017 Volkswagen has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 23,538 miles. The car's age and mileage suggest it may be due for a major service.

Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Feb 2022, Feb 2022) and a DANGEROUS failure (Mar 2021) indicate a persistent wear item.
- Offside Rear Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Feb 2023), a significant suspension component failure.
- The 2017 Caddy has a known timing belt degradation issue (community knowledge), a potential future cost.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent annual mileage of ~10,000 miles, suggesting normal and predictable usage.
