2014 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · RO14 NHV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on September 18 2025 at 47,693 miles. This reflects an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of recorded mechanical neglect in 2024. The absence of defects in the latest test suggests that the previous owner successfully addressed the previously flagged wear and tear issues that emerged during the prior year's inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with the car progressing from 26,730 miles in September 2021 to 47,693 miles by late 2025. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between uses can lead to rubber-based components degrading, which is consistent with the perished rear tyres noted in the 2022 record. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and rubber components, as the 2024 test highlighted thin front pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs. Although these were rectified by the 2025 test, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the discs and ensure no binding calipers remain. The history of frayed rear seatbelt webbing and perished tyres in 2022 warrants a close look at dry cracking on the tyre sidewalls and suspension bushings, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related oxidation rather than mechanical wear.
