2014 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RV14 AEN

The 2021‑11‑01 MOT at 81,006 miles confirms that the 2014 Audi A3 remains roadworthy, with only minor tyre wear and a deteriorated registration plate noted as defects. No failures in suspension, brakes, or structural integrity were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record since the previous test. Mileage accumulation shows a clear pattern: the vehicle progressed from 35,784 miles in March 2017 to 43,487 miles by March 2018, an increase of 8,703 miles in one year, then to 57,870 miles by April 2019, an increase of 14,383 miles, and to 78,464 miles by October 2020, an increase of 20,594 miles, before adding only 2,542 miles to reach 81,006 miles in the 2021 test. A buyer should therefore focus on the items flagged in the most recent inspection: the near‑side front tyre shows wear close to the legal limit and edge wear, indicating possible neglect of tyre replacement and uneven alignment; inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable to detect any binding or excessive play; brake calipers, discs and pads should be examined for binding, scoring or excessive wear, especially given the high annual mileage in the middle years. Finally, the deteriorated registration plate and the absence of any recorded structural rust suggest that corrosion risk remains low, yet a visual check of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for rust penetration is prudent, as is verification that the brake system functions without binding and that the tyres meet the minimum tread depth requirement.
