2014 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RE14 NUB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 June 2025 at 143,364 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean records across the last five tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing mechanical issues before they could trigger an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the August 2019 test at 67,455 miles and the May 2022 test at 108,608 miles, representing a period of lower usage or extended intervals. Since then, the car has been driven at a steady rate of roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles annually. This regular usage is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT record shows no recorded failures, the high mileage of 143,000 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension for worn bushes and perished coil springs, as these often show fatigue at this distance. Given the age and mileage, the braking system should be checked for signs of caliper binding or thinning discs. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for corrosion is vital to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the clean test results.
