2014 Volkswagen Beetle 1.6L Diesel · CV64 LPE

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent December 2025 MOT at 142,219 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures in the last four years suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the single 2022 failure at 111,279 miles—despite no recorded defects—raises questions about potential unaddressed concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,852 miles annually. Notable gaps exist between the 2022 test (111,288 miles) and the 2023 test (131,712 miles), a 20,424-mile increase over 12 months, which could indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent servicing. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with 135,691 miles in 2024 and 142,219 miles in 2025. This pattern suggests the car has been driven consistently but without significant irregularities in its maintenance cycle. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushings and coil springs, given the mileage and age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as higher mileage often accelerates degradation. Structural corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt or moisture, warrants scrutiny. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the 2022 failure without recorded defects implies potential hidden issues that a physical inspection might reveal.
