When you compare the characteristic specifications the MCV14A has a few
that are looser and has no FLASH endurance specification. 

IMO they are functional reject PICs or 'toy' parts. Is the term 'toy' still
used?

I don't really see customer testing the parts, Microchip already tested
them to reject them (unless maybe they reject whole wafers but would they
package any untested die?).
