If a Volkswagen Caddy fails, does it fail again?

34.9% of Volkswagen Caddys that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 26.7% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 51,665). The failure most likely to come back is visibility: 34.6% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Volkswagen Caddy cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Volkswagen Caddys tested at age 5, about 21 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 33. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 6 and 7, 5.39 percentage points (2024).

Does the Volkswagen Caddy fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 50.2% of Volkswagen Caddys failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all vehicles there (2024 by country, n = 8,163 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: Norway and Finland point the same way as Britain, the Netherlands do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.

Volkswagen Caddy MOT: quick answers

What is the Volkswagen Caddy first-time MOT pass rate?

68.5% of first attempts passed in 2024 (148,609 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 148,609 primary tests: 31.55% failed first time and 74.3% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 109 is shown separately.
