VOLKSWAGEN GOLF2014 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 56,840 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that previous issues identified in the prior year have been addressed. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying wear items before they escalate into mechanical failures or recurring advisories. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 21,084 miles in July 2021 to 56,840 miles by late 2025. While this low mileage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle is not driven frequently to prevent seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre-related components. The August 2024 test at 50,639 miles flagged thin rear brake pads and a slightly damaged offside front tyre. Although these were cleared by the 2025 test, the buyer should verify the remaining life of the pads and ensure the discs are not heavily scored or pitted. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the suspension bushings for cracking and the brake lines, as these components can age due to time rather than purely mechanical wear.
