Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent struc
When inspecting this specific vehicle, you must prioritise checking the rear suspension. The 2026 MOT record specifically noted corrosion in the rear suspension components, which can be a costly repair if it has progressed beyond surface rust. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work carried out to address this.
Secondly, verify the status of the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS). The vehicle failed in early 2024 because the SRS warning lamp was illuminated; ensure this fault has been professionally rectified and that the airbag system is fully functional. Finally, check the service history to see if the brake discs and pads—which have appeared as advisories or issues in multiple years—have been replaced recently, as the 2025 record indicated significant wear.
The 1395cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for daily commuting. Expect decent fuel economy typical of a small-capacity turbocharged petrol engine.
Maintenance costs for an Audi of this age can be higher than non-premium brands. Given the MOT history showing frequent issues with brake pads, discs, and tyres, you should budget for regular consumable replacements. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for this class.
Focus heavily on the underbody and suspension. The 2026 MOT highlighted corroded rear suspension components, so look for signs of heavy rust on the rear axle, arms, and springs. A mechanic should ideally inspect this to determine if the corrosion is structural.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The MOT history shows a history of worn brake pads and pitted/scored discs (noted in 2023 and 2025). Ensure the braking feels smooth and there are no pulsations through the pedal. Additionally, confirm that the SRS/airbag warning light is not illuminated on the dashboard during a cold start, following the 2024 failure.
This 2014 Red Audi A3 (1.4 TFSI) has covered 81,068 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 7,651 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a mix of results, including a failure in 2024 related to the SRS warning lamp and a recent 2026 advisory regarding corroded rear suspension components. While it has passed its most recent test, the recurring issues with brakes and tyres suggest a maintenance pattern focused on minimum legal requirements.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being anti-roll bars, service brakes, and brake pads.
