2013 Volkswagen Caddy
VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS
208,093 km on the clock and honest wear to match — this panel example is described as mechanically solid and ready for work. It’s a two-seat, five-door panel with the 1.6 petrol engine; the seller notes rugged condition rather than cosmetic pride, which suits a buyer who values function over finish. The Volkswagen Caddy is a straightforward workhorse with a simple layout.
Driving and running costs are conservative: manual 1.6 petrol with a claimed 8.1 L/100 km fuel figure, easy to service and economical for deliveries or weekend towing prep. Cargo-friendly interior and panel van configuration make load security and daily usability practical for trades or small business. This Caddy 1.6i (75KW) F/C P/V is presented as a low-fuss runner.

SELLER'S COMMENTS
THE UGLY TRUTH? IT WON’T WIN BEAUTY CONTESTS. THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH? IT WINS PAYDAYS.
Forget the polish. Forget the parking lot poses. This 2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6i has 208,093km on the clock, and it wears every single one of them like a badge of honor. This isn't a van for posers; it's a van for professionals.
Why you buy this van:
The Heart: The 1.6i (75kW) petrol engine is bulletproof. It doesn't care if you are hauling bricks or delivering catering—it just starts, goes, and asks for very little in return.
The Space: Full Cargo/Panel Van spec. Load it up, strap it down, and move the job.
The Price: R119,900 (ex fees & extras). Let’s be real—that’s cheap transport for a vehicle that still has half its life left.
The Honest Disclaimer: Yes, the body has a few stories to tell (read: dings and scratches). The interior shows it has been worked hard. But here is the kicker: It is mechanically solid. We’d rather sell you a van with honest wear than a pretty one with a hidden headache.
The Deal:
Mileage: 208,093km (Just run in).
Condition: Rough around the edges, smooth where it counts.
Who is this for? The entrepreneur who needs a second vehicle for the team. The courier who needs a spare. The builder who doesn't want to cry when a brick drops in the back.
Stop polishing your image and start building your bank balance.
Call today to view. This won't last—because functional vans at this price never do.
P.S. R119,900 ex fees. Bring your own floor mats; this one didn't come with any.

Volkswagen Caddy
Volkswagen’s Caddy doesn’t pretend to be glamorous, and that's the point. It’s a workhorse for small business owners, plumbers, electricians, and families who need a practical van without the hassle of a hulking transporter. You’ll see it squeezed into Parkhurst driveways or lugging loads through Durban’s CBD, quietly getting on with the job. Its competition — Ford Transit Connect, Renault Kangoo, Citroën Berlingo — all nibble at the same buyers who put fuel bills and interior volume ahead of badges or flash. South Africans get a choice of petrol or diesel, plus manual, auto, and DSG ’boxes, depending on how much you want to spend or how much traffic you brave. With 45 live listings from R194,500 up to R689,900 and a median right at R319,995, there’s enough spread to cover cash-strapped fleet managers and those who want the newer, smarter Cargo trim. Used Caddys dominate the classifieds, as expected — 32 out of 45 listings — with model years from 2012 all the way to 2026 and average mileage at 88,000 km. The CADDY CARGO 1.6i is everywhere, priced R229,995 to R284,900, and it’s the obvious pick if you want petrol simplicity and low running costs. But look at the diesel 2.0TDi Cargo at R598,000 — it’s new, and it’s there for operators who do big mileage and count on that torque. It’s what the Caddy should have been from the start: honest, frugal, and built for South African distances. VW’s dealer reach and spare parts network tip the scales, especially when you’re running a business and downtime means lost money. On paper at least, the Caddy’s never going to get your pulse racing, but that VW familiarity and aftersales safety net are what really matter if you’re relying on your wheels to earn a living.
