2014 Audi A3 1.8L Petrol · HJ64 XPC

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 97,079 miles, but the tester recorded a cut on the off‑side rear inner tyre and front‑inner tyres worn to the legal limit, indicating that tyre condition remains a marginal issue. The pattern shows recurring tyre wear across the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting a slight deterioration rather than an improving trend, though no structural or brake failures have been noted. At 97,079 miles the 2014 Audi A3 averages roughly 8,100 miles per year, a mileage level that sits comfortably within the typical range for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle. The record shows a steady increase of about 14,000 miles between the September 2023 test (67,082 miles) and the August 2025 test, with no large unexplained gaps, implying consistent usage rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should give the tyre set a thorough visual and tactile inspection, confirming that the rear‑side cut does not extend into the ply and that all tyres retain sufficient tread depth across the entire width. The EPC warning light observed during the 2025 test warrants a diagnostic scan to verify that the electronic parking brake and related engine management systems are fault‑free. While no suspension or brake advisories appear in the MOT history, a physical check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear is prudent to rule out hidden deterioration.
