Our Verdict
A viable option for those seeking a high
Given the 146,621 miles on the clock, focus your attention on the service history to ensure the cambelt and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals. Check for any signs of wear on the interior and pedals, which often correlate with high-mileage diesel usage.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the mileage, which is substantially higher than the model average of 7,175 miles per year. Ensure that any recent work to the engine or transmission is backed by invoices, as wear and tear increases at this mileage threshold.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, which helps offset the fuel costs of a larger engine. However, insurance groups and tax bands will vary based on the specific trim level of this 2014 model.
Maintenance costs for high-mileage Golfs often involve replacing suspension components and exhaust parts, which are common failure points for this model. Expect higher periodic maintenance costs as the vehicle ages and exceeds 150,000 miles.
Inspect the tyres carefully; while the 2022 advisories for worn front tyres were resolved, consistent wear patterns can indicate alignment issues. Check the exhaust system and anti-roll bar links, as these are among the most frequent failure points for the Golf according to aggregate data.
Perform a thorough check of the engine bay for leaks and ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is functioning correctly, as high-mileage diesels can suffer from carbon buildup if used primarily for short trips.
This black 2014 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L diesel has a recorded mileage of 146,621 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. It has passed its last five MOT tests, with only minor tyre advisories noted in 2022. While the mileage is high, the absence of recorded MOT failures is a positive data point.
The Golf has an average MOT pass rate of 80.8%, with tyres, exhausts, and anti-roll bars being the most common failure points.
