2014 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Diesel · PO64 WWT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 124,444 miles passed only after a failure a single day prior due to critical tyre condition and worn brake components. While the car has maintained a passing status annually, the recurring nature of wear-related defects across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they reach the point of failure during an MOT inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. There is a significant jump of over 20,000 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, which correlates with the rapid degradation of the rear brakes and tyres noted during that period. The data shows a clean record in 2022 at 78,243 miles, but the subsequent increase in annual usage has have accelerated a steady stream of wear and tear on the suspension and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The record shows the offside rear shock absorber misting oil in 2024, and multiple reports of uneven tyre wear and inner shoulder degradation across 2023 and 2024 indicate potential persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the consistent mention of pitted and scored brake discs from 2024 through 2025 suggests that the hardware is nearing the end of its functional life, which will likely require immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping performance.
