2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · RA04 PPA

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 110,038 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 28 January 2026 and 27 January 2025, the immediate passes the following day suggest minor issues were rectified quickly to meet compliance. The mileage is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,170 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer rose from 91,233 to 110,038 miles. This indicates a period of heavier use over the last twelve months, covering nearly 19,000 miles. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No specific mechanical defects, such as worn suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions failures, appear in the recorded data. The lack of advisories over the last three tests suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle prior to the recent mileage spike. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables that may not have triggered an MOT failure but are due for replacement given the recent 19,000-mile surge. Check the remaining tyre tread and the condition of the brake pads. Inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion or oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, as these are common age-related issues for this model that the brief MOT summaries may not explicitly detail.
