2013 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · B26 KKS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 99,727 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a damaged offside windscreen. This follows a failure in January 2025 where a fractured offside front coil spring and multiple tyre defects were identified. While the mechanical faults were rectified to achieve compliance, the pattern suggests that the owner only addresses components once they fail an inspection rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with 5,856 miles covered between March 2023 and January 2024, and another 7,582 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025. This consistent interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of neglect, though the approaching 100,000-mile mark represents a significant threshold where rubber components and suspension bushings typically undergo accelerated wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, given the previous failure of the offside front coil spring. The 2025 failure also highlighted tyres worn on the edges, which often indicates incorrect alignment settings or worn shock absorbers that may not been fully addressed. The damaged offside windscreen should be monitored closely to ensure the crack does not propagate into the driver's field of vision due to temperature changes. While no records of structural corrosion or brake binding have appeared in this history, the recurring tyre and suspension-related issues imply that the vehicle's consumables require frequent monitoring.
