Our Verdict
Strongly recommended for buyers seeking
Focus your due diligence on the service history, specifically checking for the replacement of the timing belt and water pump, which are critical maintenance items for Volkswagen diesel engines of this age. Given the low annual mileage (approximately 5,500 miles per year), it is important to verify that the car has been used for occasional longer runs to prevent Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging.
Negotiate based on the age of the consumables. While the MOT record is clean, tyres and brake pads are wear-and-tear items that may be nearing the end of their life. Ensure all service intervals have been adhered to, as the lack of MOT failures does not guarantee that oil and filter changes were performed on schedule.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though urban fuel economy will be lower. Insurance costs for the Golf are generally moderate, though the 2.0L engine variant may sit in a higher group than the smaller 1.6L options.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically standard for the segment, though parts for the 2.0L diesel can be slightly more expensive than petrol equivalents. Expect annual costs to be influenced by the vehicle's tax band and the necessity of periodic diesel-specific maintenance.
Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, you should still inspect the areas where this model commonly fails. Check the anti-roll bar links for any play or knocking sounds and inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or leaks.
Examine the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues. Additionally, check the black paintwork for stone chips and the interior for wear consistent with the 66,312 recorded miles. Finally, ensure the engine starts cleanly from cold without excessive smoke, which is a key indicator of diesel health.
This black 2014 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 Diesel has recorded 66,312 miles as of July 2025, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is notably consistent, featuring five consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. It presents as a low-usage example of this particular model year.
The Golf maintains a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.8%, with the most frequent failures relating to tyres, exhausts, and anti-roll bars.
