AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Volkswagen has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 14,922 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in critical safety areas warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,378 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is below the UK average.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm failures/advisories from Sep 2018 to Apr 2025 indicate chronic neglect.
- Multiple tyre failures/advisories (Sep 2019, Apr 2023, Apr 2025) suggest poor maintenance.
- Offside Front Windscreen wiper split (Sep 2018) and Offside Rear Tyre cut (Sep 2018) were major failures.
- The 2013 Caddy has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, but this is contradicted by the MOT history.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,378 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT records.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2026, despite its history.
