2014 Audi A3 SE TDI 1.6L Diesel · FY63 ACF

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 157,596 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in January 2025 and November 2023, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 7,033 miles added between January 2025 and January 2026, and 9,524 miles accumulated between November 2023 and January 2025. A recording error appears in the August 2022 test where mileage was logged as zero, but this does not obscure the overall upward trend of high-use motorway or commuter mileage. The absence of advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle with nearly 160,000 miles. While the record is clean, the high mileage suggests significant wear on long-term consumables. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue, as these components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. Check the brake discs for thinning and the tyres for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues. Given the age and mileage, a manual check for chassis corrosion and a review of the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential. The MOT record confirms legal compliance, but it does not replace a full mechanical service history for a high-mileage Audi.
