2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.2L Petrol · RK64 GLY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of resolving minor electrical issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 95,394 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding an inoperative nearside rear number lamp. This follows a period of clean passes in early 2024 and 2023, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances over the last several inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,000 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression of 10,407 miles between January 2023 and February 2024, and another 7,804 miles recorded between February 2024 and September 2025. This regular interval suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals, bushings, and brake components as it prevents the corrosion and rubber degradation associated with long stationary periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical wiring and lighting assemblies, as the failure in January 2023 at 72,191 miles highlighted recurring issues with rear lamp intensity and operation. While these were minor faults, the recurrence of the registration plate lamp defect in 2025 suggests the wiring or sockets may be prone to failure. Given the lack of advisories for structural rust or suspension wear in the history, the priority should shift to verifying the physical condition of the control arms bushes and the brake disc thickness to ensure no hidden wear has occurred between the annual tests.
