2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · DL64 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following its most recent MOT pass on 18 December 2025 at 104,585 miles. While the record shows two instances of initial failure, both cases occurred just days before the scheduled test and were subsequently rectified. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in addressing identified defects immediately to ensure the vehicle remains compliant. The lack of any recorded advisories across the last three tests indicates a vehicle that is currently maintained in good condition without immediate points of concern. At 104,585 miles, the Golf has averaged approximately 8,715 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage expectations for a car of this age. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 14,500 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 14,600 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished rubber components or brake caliper corrosion. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the components most likely to fatigue at this mileage threshold, despite the clean MOT history. Examine the front suspension wisharms and bushings for signs of tearing or play, as these are common points of wear on the Golf generation. Given the age and mileage, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the fluid lines for hairline cracking is also advisable. Since the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, the integrity of the vehicle appears sound, provided the service history matches this level of documented care.
