This 2018 Volkswagen has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 7,528 miles. The very low mileage (7,528 miles in 8 years) is a significant red flag for potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging only 2,386 miles per year, with a critical 1,528-mile anomaly between June 2023 and June 2024, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below cohort: 17,721 mi total — bottom 10% of similar VOLKSWAGENs of this age (typical: 61,894 mi, n=344 vehicles).
- Critical 1.4L engine timing belt degradation is a known model weakness for this Caddy model.
- Very low annual mileage (2,386 mi/yr) raises serious odometer fraud concerns.
- Offside Front Tyre had a DANGEROUS bulge on 2021-06-14, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures or advisories on critical safety systems.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage trajectory since registration.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) demonstrates high safety standards.
