2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · SF64 YLA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2023‑02‑01 at 113,805 miles with no defects recorded, confirming that it is presently road‑worthy according to DVSA standards. The record shows a clear improvement; earlier tests repeatedly listed advisories on suspension, brakes and tyre wear, but none have re‑appeared in the latest inspection, suggesting the underlying issues have been addressed or are stabilising. The car is twelve years old and has accrued 113,805 miles, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. Mileage increments are consistent across the MOT log, moving from 51,501 miles in September 2017 to 113,805 miles by February 2023, with no long periods of stagnation or abrupt jumps that would indicate prolonged storage or excessive wear. Recurring entries flagged light misting of oil on the off‑side front shock absorbers, wear on the outer edge of front tyres, and progressive thinning of front brake pads appear across multiple tests, pointing to ongoing wear in the suspension and braking systems. The 2017 failure noted a bulge in the near‑side rear tyre and pitting on the rear brake disc, conditions that require close visual inspection for structural integrity and corrosion. A prospective buyer should therefore arrange a physical examination of the shock absorber mounts, coil springs and brake discs for signs of oil leakage, scoring or severe corrosion, and verify that the tyres meet the legal tread depth and show no irregular wear patterns. A thorough check of the chassis for rust or structural damage is advisable, given the historic advisories on suspension components and tyre failures.
