2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · AF64 YBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 118,412 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive attention to wear and tear rather than proactive replacement. While the 2024 test highlighted several advisories regarding suspension and tyres, the lack of recorded faults in the 2025 test suggests the previous owner addressed the flagged mechanical issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the November 2021 test at 72,005 miles and the 2024 test at 112,886 miles, the car covered over 40,000 miles, indicating a period of higher annual usage compared to its earlier years. This consistent use explains the degradation of suspension components noted in later inspections, as high mileage typically places significant stress on rubber bushings and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The 2024 record specifically flagged a worn offside suspension arm bush and de-bonding on the rear most bushes. Although these were not mentioned in the latest test, a physical check is required to ensure no significant play has developed in the rubber since then. Additionally, the recurring history of windscreen damage across 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggests the glass may be prone to stone chips, which should be checked for new cracks that could compromise structural integrity or the laminate.
