2014 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · WP14 AAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 21 February 2026 at 140,600 miles. This latest result follows a period of targeted repairs to the suspension system. The record shows a transition from minor wear to more significant failures, but the absence of defects in the two most recent tests suggests these issues have been resolved. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 11,717 miles per year. The accumulation is steady, with 18,374 miles added between February 2023 and March 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. A buyer should focus on the rear suspension and braking system. The 10 March 2025 failure at 131,199 miles highlighted a serious fluid leak in the offside rear shock absorber and misting on the nearside, following an earlier advisory for the same component in February 2023. While these were cleared for the subsequent pass, the history of leaking dampers suggests a vulnerability in the rear axle assembly. The braking system also showed signs of neglect in February 2023, where the tester flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin pads. Combined with multiple tyre tread advisories across 2023 and 2024, this indicates a previous pattern of delaying consumable replacements until the MOT deadline. A physical inspection should verify the current condition of the brake discs and tyre depths to ensure the current owner has moved toward a more proactive maintenance schedule.
