2014 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · 300 BEN

The 2014 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 136,563 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from March 2022 to March 2024 also passed clean. The DVSA record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the documented lifespan, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening wear or recurring failures. Recorded mileage rose from 102,175 at the March 2022 test to 114,115 in March 2023, then 126,681 in March 2024, reaching 136,563 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 11,380 miles per year, typical for a twelve-year-old hatchback. The only anomaly is a duplicate entry on 26 March 2022 showing both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, likely a DVSA administrative re-entry rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. The history is sparse but clean, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car has exceeded 130,000 miles without any advisories logged. The absence of flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions issues in the record does not preclude hidden structural rust at sills or subframes. Verify the 26 March 2022 anomaly with DVSA before purchase, and confirm in person that tyres, wiper blades and consumables match the clean test profile. The previous owners appear to have maintained test compliance, though the lack of recorded advisories at this mileage warrants physical confirmation of drivetrain condition.
