2014 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · TA58 BEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 88,840 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in late 2023, the vehicle has successfully cleared three consecutive tests without advisory notices, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and that recent maintenance has been consistent. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the car covered 13,724 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower 5,901 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This spike suggests the vehicle is currently being used more frequently, which is generally better for mechanical seals and components than long periods of standing that can lead to the degradation of rubber parts and fluid acidity. Despite the lack of advisories, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on common age-related areas that the MOT may not have highlighted in detail. Given the mileage and age, checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or cracking is essential. The vehicle's recent increase in annual mileage also warrants a check of the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning pads, as these components face higher stress during more frequent driving cycles.
