2014 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · FM14 LCA

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 73,024 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage has averaged close to 6,085 miles across the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady yearly accumulation: 42,400 miles in July 2021, 50,009 in July 2022, 57,437 in July 2023, 64,788 in July 2024, and 73,024 in July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing zero advisories or defects, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag emerging wear. The clean history offers no evidence of structural corrosion or binding calipers, yet twelve years of service can conceal tired components the annual test did not capture. Verify in person that exhaust emissions remain within limits and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking despite the low annual use. The lack of recorded defects implies responsible ownership, but no MOT substitutes for a physical appraisal of mechanical condition before purchase.
