2014 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · BW04 AMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The April 2026 test at 93,602 miles resulted in a pass, noting only minor cosmetic issues regarding a damaged windscreen and a deteriorated front registration plate. These items do not impact the mechanical integrity of the car. The absence of any advisories or defects in the 2025 test at 84,840 miles suggests a period of consistent maintenance following previous repairs. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2014 vehicle. The car has covered approximately 93,602 miles over 12 years, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The data shows steady annual increments, with an 8,682-mile increase between April 2025 and April 2026, and a 11,312-mile increase between April 2024 and April 2025. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle is driven frequently enough to prevent the common issues associated with long periods of inactivity, such as seized components or perished rubber seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension components during a physical inspection. The May 2023 failure at 65,674 miles highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring and oil misting from the shock absorber. While the subsequent passes indicate these faults were addressed, the recurrence of windscreen damage in both April 2024 and April 2026 suggests a tendency for stone chips or minor impacts. Although these were not recorded as failures, they indicate the glass may require monitoring for cracks that could compromise structural integrity or driver visibility. The 2023 failure also noted a non-functional offside rear seat belt and a faulty headlamp lens. While these were resolved to achieve the 2024 pass, a thorough check of all lighting assemblies and seat belt pretensioners is advisable. The overall trend shows a vehicle that experienced a significant mechanical setback in 2023 but has since moved into a period of clean, defect-free testing.
