2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · SL64 AEN

This Volkswagen Golf presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 90,958 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,580 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2023 test at 80,122 miles and the October 2025 test at 90,958 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,400 miles per annum over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden mechanical degradation. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same day, specifically on 17 October 2023 and 10 October 2024. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, it implies the issues were minor and rectified instantly during the test. The absence of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions indicates a lack of chronic mechanical failings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear items not always captured by a basic MOT. Check the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items for this engine and are not listed in the MOT history. Inspect the tyre tread depths and the condition of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the October 2025 inspection.
