2014 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · KX14 SNJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 117,861 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest report indicates the beginning of consumable wear that was not previously present. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the appearance of a thin offside rear brake pad in the most recent test suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more frequent mechanical attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2022 test at 73,420 miles and the March 2026 test at 117,861 miles, the car covered over 44,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits rubber components and braking systems from avoiding the seizing often associated with long-term storage. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the offside pad was already flagged as wearing thin in the 2026 test. The 2024 record also noted perishing and cracking on both rear tyres at 93,397 miles, which indicates the age of the rubber may be a factor regardless of tread depth. A physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advised, as these components often show degradation once a Volkswagen Golf exceeds the 100,000-mile mark.
