2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · WD64 SXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2026 at 77,699 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The latest failure recorded just four days prior concerned only headlamp alignment issues and a poorly fitted bulb, which are minor adjustments rather than mechanical failures. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing compliance defects once they are identified by the tester. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,699 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,475 miles, which aligns with typical usage. The data shows consistent travel patterns, with 5,136 miles driven between June 2024 and May 2025, and another 5,178 miles covered in the final year. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of neglect or standing, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of rubber-based components and fluid systems. A physical inspection should specifically target the rear braking system, as the May 2025 test at 72,421 miles flagged slight corrosion on the ferrule of both nearside and offside rear brake hoses. While these were merely advisories at the time, corrosion at the fittings can lead to sudden leaks or hose failure if not monitored. Additionally, the June 2024 failure regarding a structural tyre tear and uneven wear indicates that the buyer should verify the current tyre set for consistent wear patterns, as edge wear noted in that test can sometimes indicate underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
