Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 2 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 2 people together: the advert records 2 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 15 years old and 345,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the Mk3 Caddy (2010–2015 era) passenger variant often sold as the Caddy Life; 2011 cars commonly have 1.6 or 2.0 TDI diesels with a 5‑ or 6‑speed manual. Diesel Caddys are durable but can show DPF/EGR issues if used mostly for short urban trips; there are also standard timing-belt intervals to watch and the Caddy Maxi (long wheelbase) exists if you need more boot space. Expect a straightforward, van-derived interior rather than a plush MPV cabin, but parts are common and easy to source in Ireland.
- Timing-belt replacement history and date (many TDI engines need interval swaps — ask for evidence).
- DPF and EGR condition — look for excessive smoke, frequent regeneration events or warning lamps after short trips.
- Clutch feel and gearbox synchros (hard shifts or slipping under load are common on higher-mileage manuals).
- Sliding side-door runners/rollers and rear-seat mounts for wear or seized mechanisms.
- Signs of corrosion under the loadfloor/tailgate bottom and around rear wheelarches, plus any oil leaks at the turbo/intercooler hoses.
