2014 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · AF14 AYL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on February 24, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car achieved three consecutive passes without recorded defects. The single failure recorded just ten miles prior to the successful test involved only consumable items, specifically a defective offside windscreen wiper blade and a nearside front tyre with damage reaching the cords. These issues were addressed immediately, suggesting the previous owner was responsive to safety-critical maintenance requirements when flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,457 miles per annum. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 16,200 miles, a steady rate of roughly 5,400 miles annually during that period. This lack of rapid mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components, though the total of 89,485 miles places standard wear on expected wear for its age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wheel assembly components, as the recent failure indicated a sidewall cut on the nears tyre. While the MOT history is clean of structural or mechanical failures, the age of the Golf warrants a close check of suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or loss of tension. Given the consistent use, verifying the brake discs for excessive corrosion and checking the thickness of the pads remains advisable to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean history shown in the digital record.
