The 2016 Volkswagen Caddy carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Volkswagen Caddy is also known as Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup, SEAT Inca, Volkswagen Van in markets outside Australia.
The VW 1.4 TSI engine uses a cam-chain rather than a rubber toothed belt which needs periodic replacement. As such, the cam-chain should last the life of the engine (and the rest of the car) but experience with this engine suggests that is not always the case and some early versions of this engine have required cam-chain replacement. The incidence of this seems a bit random, with no real pattern emerging with some cars going on to record normal mileages with no cam-chain problems.
The car you’re looking at, however, is a later version, so should be less prone to this. But even so, make sure the car has a perfect service record as poor maintenance can shorten the life of the cam-chain.
The Volkswagen Caddy 2016 prices range from $8,800 for the basic trim level Van TSI160 Runner to $20,020 for the top of the range Van Maxi TDI320 4 Motion.
