2014 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · DX02 BEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 31 October 2025 recorded a pass with no defects at 87,715 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stabilising pattern; the only recorded fault in the preceding year was front‑tyre wear and a coolant leak, both of which appear resolved in the latest test. No new defects have emerged, indicating the vehicle has not deteriorated further. Mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12‑year‑old Audi A3, averaging roughly 8,000–10,000 miles per year. The interval between the 2024 test (79,376 miles) and the 2025 test (87,715 miles) spans about 11 months, reflecting normal usage rather than unusually rapid wear. The data set is complete for each annual cycle, showing no gaps that would hide hidden mileage jumps. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for uneven wear and tread depth, as both near‑side and off‑side fronts were noted close to the legal limit in 2024. The rear near‑side tyre should be examined for sidewall cracking observed in 2022, and the coolant system checked for residual leaks or corrosion, given the 2024 coolant leak entry. Additionally, a visual check of suspension bushes and brake disc condition is advisable, as these components are subject to normal wear over the mileage range. Structural integrity appears satisfactory; no rust or corrosion advisories have been logged. The clean recent MOT suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements, but the tyre wear history indicates that replacement may be imminent. A pre‑purchase inspection should therefore focus on tyre condition, coolant system integrity, and general suspension/brake health to confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.
