About the Volkswagen Caddy

Enter the 17 characters of a Volkswagen Caddy VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the Caddy covers 12 versions, from the Caddy III and Caddy Maxi III to the Caddy Cargo V and Caddy Maxi Panel Van IV, with model years from 2003 to 2024. The body style listed is Van, and power runs from 70 to 170 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you are looking at a particular Caddy, compare the decoded model year and country with the advert and the registration document, and check that the VIN on the car matches the paperwork.

Learn more about VINs

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.

Before you buy a used Volkswagen Caddy

  • Compare the VIN on the dashboard, the door frame and the documents. All three should match.
  • Look for signs of tampering around the VIN plate and the door frame sticker.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Volkswagen Caddy built?

Our data lists model years 2003 - 2024 across 12 versions of the Volkswagen Caddy. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

Which VIN character shows the model year of a Volkswagen Caddy?

It is the 10th character. For the Volkswagen Caddy the characters to expect are 3 (2003), 4 (2004), 5 (2005), 6 (2006), 7 (2007), 8 (2008), 9 (2009), A (2010), B (2011), C (2012), D (2013), E (2014), F (2015), G (2016), H (2017), J (2018), K (2019), L (2020), M (2021), N (2022), P (2023), R (2024).

How many versions of the Volkswagen Caddy are in your data?

12 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 170 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which Caddy version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, not the version name. Use the model year to narrow things down, then match it against the version in the registration document and the specification, for example Caddy Maxi III or Caddy V.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

All 17 characters must be identical on the car, in the registration document and in the advert. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so any of them points to a misread or a wrong number. Also check that the tenth character, the model year, fits the year the seller states.

What will the decoder not tell me about a Volkswagen Caddy?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot tell you the condition of the van or how it was used. For those points, rely on service records, the documents and an inspection.
