2014 AUDI A31.6L Diesel

The Audi A3 holds a roadworthy status as of the latest examination, with the 8 January 2026 test at 148,008 miles recording a pass and no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, showing no recurring mechanical flags or worsening condition. On 4 January 2024 the DVSA log shows a failure at 132,360 miles yet lists no defects, followed the same day by a pass at 132,362 miles with no defects; this points to an administrative anomaly rather than a genuine fault. The car is twelve years old and has covered 148,008 miles, an above-average total for its age. Early in the record, the March 2023 test at 118,434 miles preceded a jump to 132,360 by January 2024, roughly 14,000 miles in ten months. Subsequent annual increments fell to 8,807 miles by January 2025 and 6,839 by January 2026, indicating reduced yearly use. The MOT data is sparse and notably clean, with zero advisories across all entries. A buyer should not interpret the absence of test defects as proof of unworn components. At 148,008 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers will have absorbed substantial cyclic load. The previous keeper secured passes without recorded advisories, implying compliance with minimum standards rather than proactive refurbishment. In person, examine structural integrity around sills and subframe for corrosion, check for binding calipers, and assess tyre tread and wiper blades despite no tester notes.
