2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · DY15 ADV

The Audi A3 holds a roadworthy status following the 31 October 2025 pass at 102,816 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across all recorded examinations. The DVSA log shows a fail issued on 31 October 2025 at identical mileage, then a pass the same day, both declaring no defects. Earlier, the 5 November 2024 pass at 92,800 miles and the 12 October 2023 pass at 76,153 miles also recorded zero defects. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or emissions appear at any stage, indicating no worsening mechanical condition. Mileage progression aligns broadly with the vehicle's eleven-year age. The record opens with 76,153 miles in October 2023. By the 2 November 2024 failure at 92,799 miles, the car had covered about 16,646 miles in twelve months, a pace above the circa 9,347 annual average. The final jump to 102,816 miles by late October 2025 added roughly 10,017 miles, returning to typical use. Pre-2023 history is absent, so early wear on drivetrain components remains unverified. The sparse but clean ledger suggests the prior keeper kept statutory tests current without accumulating flagged faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive items not surfaced by the MOT. Examine front and rear suspension arms for worn bushes, check coil springs for fractures, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation. Inspect sills and subframes for structural corrosion, particularly given the salt exposure expected over eleven UK winters. The twin fail-pass events with no recorded defects imply the previous owner corrected any compliance query swiftly or the test centre resolved an administrative anomaly; this reflects testing diligence rather than neglected upkeep.
