Our Verdict
This Volkswagen Golf requires careful at
Prioritise a detailed technical inspection of the rear suspension components, specifically the near-side rear shock absorbers which showed light oil misting in both 2025 and 2026 MOTs. The tyre wear reported in July 2023 (front tyres worn close to legal limits) indicates either aggressive driving or under-inflated tyres that should be checked for proper inflation and tread depth. Given the model's average annual mileage of 7,175 miles across 993,440 vehicles analysed, this car has logged roughly 16,200 miles since its first registration in September 2014; ensure the odometer reading matches this expectation and that there are no hidden odometer discrepancies. Negotiate any price reduction based on the confirmed rear shock oil issue and the tyre wear findings, and request updated service records covering the period leading up to the March 2026 MOT.
With a 1.9T diesel engine and 116,960 miles on the odometer, expected annual running costs fall into the £750–£950 range. Diesel fuel consumption for this class typically averages 5–6 L/100km, making fuel the largest variable expense. Insurance group depends on driver profile and location but falls within standard ranges for a 2014 Golf. Typical maintenance includes regular oil changes, brake inspections, and potential tyre replacement; budgeting for a full service interval every 10,000–15,000 miles is prudent given the historical oil leakage observations.
The near-side rear shock absorbers require closer examination given the 'light misting of oil' noted in both the 2025 and 2026 MOT reports (codes 5.3.2 b). Check for visible oil seepage, component wear, and whether the shocks have been serviced or replaced. The tyre situation demands immediate attention—inspect both front and rear tyres for uneven wear patterns, correct alignment, and proper tread depth, especially since the July 2023 MOT recorded front tyres worn close to legal limits. Additionally, verify the condition of the windshield wiper blades, as a defect was noted in the 2026 MOT (code 3.4 b (i)).
A 2014 Volkswagen Golf (CE64EYC, blue, 1.9T diesel) with 116,960 miles at its most recent MOT shows a mixed condition. It passed all MOT tests from 2022 through 2025, but three separate failures have been recorded between 2023 and 2026, primarily related to tyre wear and rear shock oil leakage. The overall picture suggests a vehicle that is still serviceable but carries residual maintenance concerns worth verifying during inspection.
Based on the aggregate MOT data for 993,440 vehicles, tyre-related failures rank among the top three most common MOT outcomes, reflecting industry-wide challenges with suspension components in this model segment.
