2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · AF14 LFJ

The Volkswagen Golf presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 30 May 2024 at 253,025 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied record reads as stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The most recent test followed a failed attempt on 29 May 2024 at identical mileage where the tester recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 27 May 2023 at 233,271 miles and again on 4 May 2022 at 210,225 miles, both with no defects cited. The odometer shows 253,025 miles against a 2014 model year, equating to roughly 21,085 miles per annum and placing this car well above typical use for its age. Annual increments are consistent: 23,046 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, then 19,754 miles to May 2024. No gaps appear in the annual test cycle, and the high but steady accumulation implies regular long-distance commuting rather than neglected standing storage. The DVSA data itself is sparse on faults, with every entry showing a blank defects field even on the two failure lines. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as worn components at this distance rarely surface without a physical examination. The repeated no-defect failures on 27 May 2023 and 29 May 2024 suggest clerical issues at the testing station, not resolved mechanical campaigns, so verify the VIN and test certificate directly with DVSA. Given the clean advisory history, previous owners likely maintained basic test compliance, though the high mileage means drivetrain and structural corrosion checks remain prudent before purchase.
