Son (hasn't passed his test yet) is looking at Caddys, looking around the £7k mark, are there any to avoid, any horror stories?

Caddy, any to avoid?

I love a caddy I had a 2009 2.0tdi 140 great engine.
Had it 10 years never failed a mot and never let me down still going strong now.
The 1.6 tend to get injector issues and can be a pain in the ass to change but nothing horrendous to report I don’t believe.

What about a 1.0 or 1.2 tsi then you don't have to worry about ulez or dpf issues. That's what our young-un wants for his first vehicle next year. Along with 20s, hybrid bumper and a colour change, but then again he has no concept of money as he's a tw@t 
The 140 CAAC engine is reliable no Adblue, I bought mine on 38K, it's now on 90K on just frequent servicing. If he needs to use ULEZ roads it's a no-go but certainly a reliable economical engine.What about a 1.0 or 1.2 tsi then you don't have to worry about ulez or dpf issues.

Letting him do that. He's 26 very soon so hopefully won't be too bad.
Thanks for comments so far everyone, I'm learning a lot about these things, the scene seems to be very similar to the Transporter scene except no poptops. I'm amazed people convert Caddys into full campers!
No ULEZ stuff to worry about as we're in Yorkshire, 1.6 injector issues noted, yes a petrol would probably be better.
What's an axle flip?

Instead of the rear axle being below the leaf springs, it will sit on top so it gets lower
