2014 Audi A3 1.2L Petrol · MM14 UEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection on 21 January 2026 at 91,430 miles. This lack of defects indicates that the previous mechanical failure was addressed and that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. The maintenance trend appears consistent, suggesting a proactive approach to rectifying faults once they are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 58,331 miles and the January 2026 test at 91,430 miles, the car covered roughly 33,000 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate. There are no significant spikes in mileage that would suggest heavy commercial use, nor are there long periods of inactivity that typically lead to brake corrosion or perished rubber degradation. The only recorded failure occurred on 16 January 2025 at 81,778 miles, due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring. While this was rectified to allow the subsequent pass, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the entire suspension system. Coil springs on this model can suffer from fatigue or corrosion, so checking the opposite side for signs of stress or wear on the control arm bushes is advisable to ensure the components are not nearing the end of their life. Given the clean nature of the last three tests, the focus should shift to standard consumable items and components not covered by the MOT tester. Inspect the brake discs for thinness or pitting, and check the tyres for uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues. The record does not show any ongoing structural concerns or recurring mechanical leaks, which suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained relative to its age.
