2014 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · LS14 ABN

The Audi A3 presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 September 2025 at 209,656 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, with the two most recent annual tests clearing cleanly and no advisories logged at any point. Records show only two failed tests, both in 2023 and 2024, yet neither listed a single defect, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 209,656 against a 2014 build, equating to roughly 17,471 miles per year and placing this car well above typical use for its age. The odometer climbed from 202,823 on 31 August 2023 to 206,670 by 10 September 2024, then to 209,656 by 6 September 2025. That is about 6,800 miles in the first interval and only 2,986 in the latest, suggesting the high annual average is easing as the car enters lighter retirement-phase use. The sparse record shows no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests. Given the clean sheets, a buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion concerns from the DVLA data itself. The twin failures with zero defects imply the previous owner tolerated test-centre friction but kept the mechanicals to pass standard. Still, at over 200,000 miles the drivetrain and suspension mountings warrant a physical inspection for worn bushes, weeping dampers, and exhaust integrity not captured by a fault-free pass. Prospective purchasers should commission a independent compression and geometry check before sale. High-mileage Audis of this era hide dual-mass flywheel wear and rear beam corrosion behind clear MOTs. The record implies disciplined test compliance rather than proof of component health.
