2014 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · LM63 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 126,569 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior six miles earlier. This failure suggests a minor rectifyable issue, such as a blown bulb or sensor fault, which was addressed immediately before the retest. Since January 2023, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between January 2023 at 110,684 miles and February 2026 at 126,569 miles, the car covered 15,885 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that suggest long periods of stationary storage which could lead to internal component degradation. The accumulation of miles is steady, suggesting the vehicle has been used for regular commuting rather than subjected to neglect. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should still inspect high-wear components common at 126,000 miles. Focus should be placed on the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue at this mileage. Given the lack of advisories for brake components or corrosion, a physical inspection of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is advisable to confirm the record holds true. Checking the chassis for surface corrosion remains essential to ensure no hidden structural rust has developed between the annual test dates.
