2014 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · LT64 WEC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 48,421 miles passed, it introduced an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This mirrors a finding from the October 2024 test at 46,998 miles, indicating a recurring failure to address tyre wear or alignment issues despite consecutive passing results. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,035 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 7,931 miles, suggesting infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the consistent interval of roughly 1,200 to 1,500 miles between annual tests confirms a predictable usage pattern that has not subjected the vehicle to high-mile stress. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front suspension geometry in person, as the repeated edge wear on the offside front tyre suggests a persistent misalignment or worn control arm bushes. Given the low annual mileage, it is also essential to check for rubber degradation and brake caliper seizing, as components can age through oxidation when a vehicle sits stationary. The record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, but the recurring tyre advisory indicates that the owner may overlook basic preventative maintenance tasks.
