If you own or are considering buying a 2007 Volkswagen Caddy C20 Tdi 104, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall.

Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm). With an average mileage of 85,517 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Brakes — 0.7% of failures
Brakes issues account for 0.7% of MOT failures on 2007 Volkswagen Caddy C20 Tdi 104 models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Noise, emissions and leaks — 0.7% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 0.7% of MOT failures on 2007 Volkswagen Caddy C20 Tdi 104 models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
Suspension — 0.7% of failures
Suspension issues account for 0.7% of MOT failures on 2007 Volkswagen Caddy C20 Tdi 104 models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
