2014 AUDI A31.6L Diesel

The 2014 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 125,393 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. The three preceding annual tests in June 2024, May 2023, and May 2022 also passed without advisories, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a consistent standard over the past four years. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a twelve-year-old car, averaging roughly 10,449 miles per year against the current 125,393 miles. The record shows steady year-on-year use: 107,795 miles in May 2022, 116,045 miles in May 2023, 119,830 miles in June 2024, and 125,393 miles in May 2025. A single failed test appears on 30 May 2023 at 116,035 miles, but the very next day the car passed at 116,045 miles with no defects logged, suggesting the failure was administrative or a trivial non-mechanical matter rather than a genuine fault. The sparse, clean history gives no indication of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across the valid tests, the previous owner appears to have maintained the car to MOT pass standard without visible shortcuts. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as the DVSA record does not capture wear below failure threshold. The clean pass sheet offers no excuse to skip checking for early tyre cracking or binding calipers that a road test would expose.
