2014 Volkswagen Sharan 2.0L Diesel · ST14 ABV

The 2014 Volkswagen Sharan passed its most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 130,831 miles with only a minor near-side rear inner position lamp fault, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with faults limited to consumable wear and minor lighting issues rather than structural or mechanical failure. The owner corrected the 4 March 2025 failure for a side repeater and tyre edge wear within a day, showing prompt rectification. Annual mileage averages 10,903 against the 12-year lifespan, a typical pattern for this age. The record shows steady accumulation: 93,593 miles in March 2023, 105,120 in March 2024, 117,890 in March 2025, and 130,831 in March 2026. No standing periods or mileage spikes appear. The history is clean of corrosion, emissions, or structural integrity failures across all five tests. Recurring rear brake wear demands inspection. The tester flagged thinning pads and pitted discs at both rear corners in March 2023 and again in March 2024, indicating the discs were not replaced despite scoring. Front suspension shows progressive wear: a near-side anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play in March 2023 preceded an off-side front arm bush worn in March 2025. Verify the rear discs and pads, and check front suspension bushes for excessive movement. Tyre edge wear recurs on front and rear axles, with the near-side front flagged at legal limit in March 2025 and rear edges in March 2023. Confirm all tyres hold above 1.6mm and sit evenly. Test the near-side rear lamp noted in March 2026 and confirm the off-side repeater fixed in March 2025 remains operational.
