2014 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · LT14 SPU

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 24 November 2025 at 154,736 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its test first time in November 2025 after a same-week failure on 20 November at 154,735 miles that also recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage stands at 154,736 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 12,895 miles per year and placing this car above typical use for its age. The gap between the 3 January 2024 failure at 120,411 miles and the 23 November 2024 pass at 128,739 miles shows only 8,328 miles added in eleven months, then 25,997 miles accrued by November 2025. Such accumulation is moderate but the high total means drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs have seen extended service cycles. The DVSA data itself is sparse, with no corrosion, emissions, or structural integrity concerns ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front coil springs and rear suspension arms, as high-mileage A3 platforms commonly develop worn bushes that an MOT without advisories will not always catch. The twin January 2024 and November 2025 fail-pass pairs within days suggest the keeper addressed minor test rejection points quickly; verify the rectification paperwork. Check brake caliper operation and disc wear given the 34,000 miles covered since early 2024. Given the clean record and stable trend, the vehicle shows signs of consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The absence of recurring mechanical failures implies previous owners kept the car to test standard, though the mileage demands scrutiny of consumables before purchase.
