2014 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 8 August 2025 at 135,629 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This reflects a stable trend across the last five tests, suggesting the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and structural integrity of the Golf to a standard that avoids failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the September 2020 test at 87,499 miles and the August 2022 test at 103,234 miles, representing a two-year period of lower usage, but since 2022, the car has maintained a steady rate of roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year. This regular usage often helps prevent the seal-related issues associated with long periods of standing stationary. While the MOT record shows no advisories for suspension bushes or brake corrosion, a physical inspection should still focus on components subject to wear at 135,000 miles. The buyer should verify the condition of the shock absorbers and coil springs, as the MOT test only checks for significant play rather than minor rubber degradation. Given the mileage, checking for oil leaks around the drivetrain and assessing the thickness of the brake discs is prudent to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean-paper de-encapsulated test history.
