2017 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · BD17 AEN

The 2017 Audi A3 with 54,091 miles is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-07 confirming compliance. However, the record shows a conflicting entry for the same date: a pass and a fail, both with no defects recorded. This inconsistency may indicate a technical error or incomplete testing, but the absence of recorded faults suggests no critical issues at the time. The maintenance trend remains stable, as prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed no defects, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 54,091 miles over nine years equates to approximately 6,010 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2024-05-02 test at 48,611 miles and the 2023-01-31 test at 43,472 miles reveal a steady progression, suggesting predictable wear rather than erratic usage. The data is clean, with no recurring issues flagged, though the 2025-05-07 fail remains unexplained. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could go undetected in MOT tests. Structural corrosion, though not tested in the MOT, should be checked in areas prone to rust, such as wheel arches and underbody panels. The absence of recorded defects is reassuring, but the 2025 fail highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
