VOLKSWAGEN GOLF2014 · 1.6L Diesel

The Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 136,397 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 July 2023 at 108,439 miles, where the record shows no defects listed, suggesting the failure was administrative or a retest followed swift correction before the pass on 2 August 2023. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a 2014 vehicle. The car covered roughly 15,210 miles between the July 2022 test at 93,229 miles and the July 2023 test at 108,439 miles, then 15,171 miles to August 2024 at 123,610 miles, and 12,787 miles to July 2025 at 136,397 miles. Annual averages sit near 11,366 miles, with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The MOT data is sparse on faults, showing clean sheets across all passes. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 136,397-mile count and twelve years of service. No advisories for corrosion or exhaust emissions appear in the record, but DVSA testers record only visible defects at test time. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. Verify the 22 July 2023 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, and confirm service records for timing belt and transmission fluid before purchase.
