2014 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · EY14 YRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred front-end repairs. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 126,172 miles passed, it carried multiple advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes and tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a failure in December 2024 where track rod ends also showed excessive play, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail an inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical family-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 23,441 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 16,658 miles covered between the late 2024 and 2025 inspections. This steady annual accumulation suggests the car is used regularly for longer-distance travel, which accounts for the accelerated wear on the steering and suspension components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with arm bushes and track rod ends suggest that the rubber components are reaching the end of their service life. You should check for any play in the steering and listen for knocking noises when driving over uneven surfaces. Additionally, the most recent test flagged both front tyres as worn on the edges, which often indicates a tracking alignment issue that requires immediate attention to prevent further scrubbing of new tyres.
