2014 Volkswagen Golf 1.6L Diesel · WM14 KXB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 133,099 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previously identified issues have been addressed. This clean result following the minor advis in 2024 suggests the current owner is proactive in performing necessary repairs once faults are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 88,236 miles and the 2025 test at 133,099 miles, the car covered roughly 45,000 miles at a steady rate. This regularity suggests predictable use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals, mechanical components, and batteries. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension based on historical data. The September 2024 test at 119,444 miles flagged thin offside rear brake pads and a front tyre wearing on the edges, which often points to minor alignment issues or uneven brake wear. While these were cleared by the following test, an inspector should verify that the calipers are not binding and that the suspension bushes show no excessive play. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody is also standard practice to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last MOT.
