2014 Volkswagen Beetle 1.2L Petrol · RE14 EFH

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 85,272 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting a vehicle that is maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 7,106 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 78,704 miles and the August 2024 test at 83,654 miles shows a steady usage pattern of 4,950 miles over that year. The most recent interval between August 2024 and August 2025 saw a slight increase to 1,618 miles, indicating the car remains in regular use rather than sitting idle. The MOT record is unusually clean, with no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion across multiple years. While the record shows two failures in August 2023 and August 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these may have been administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. The absence of recurring faults indicates a lack of chronic mechanical instability. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related wear that MOT testers sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and inspect the suspension coil springs for hairline fractures. Given the age of the vehicle, a manual check for underbody corrosion and the condition of the rubber seals is advised to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity matches the clean paperwork.
