2009 AUDI A31.9L Diesel

The 2009 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 137,883 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the previous four years. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle. Records show 123,963 miles in May 2021, rising to 128,340 by May 2022, 131,851 in May 2023, 135,052 in June 2024, and 137,883 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 miles per year over this window, below the lifetime average of 8,111, suggesting lighter recent use. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or failures logged across any of the five entries. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise reveal wear trends. Standing periods implied by low annual mileage can accelerate perishing of rubber components and corrosion of brake calipers even when tests show no fault. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions require physical verification beneath the vehicle, as MOT passes without advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The clean record reflects compliant upkeep rather than confirmed mechanical condition at 137,883 miles.
