2017 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · G23 MDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 74,991 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of reactive maintenance. The 2025 test at 69,272 miles initially saw a failure due to worn rear brake pads and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit, but these issues were addressed to secure a pass. The transition from the failed 2025 inspection to the clean 2026 result suggests the owner is maintaining the vehicle to a satisfactory standard by rectifying identified wear items. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 74,991 miles, averaging approximately 8,332 miles per year. The records show steady annual progression, such as the 7,179-mile increase between January 2025 and January 2026, and the 6,786-mile increase between January 2024 and January 2025. This regular interval of use reduces the likelihood of issues stemming from long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty mileage. A recurring pattern of tyre wear is evident throughout the history. The tester flagged tyre tread depth issues or edge wear in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Frequent mentions of tyres being worn on the edge or near the legal limit suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tyre wear patterns and check for uneven scrubbing, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or misaligned tracking. Brake component wear also appears periodically in the records. The 2020 test noted thin pads on all four wheels, and the 2025 test required new rear pads. While these are standard consumable items, the buyer should verify the current condition of the brake discs for scoring or thinning. Given the history of tyre and brake pad replacements, a physical inspection of the braking system and a check for any steering pull or vibration during test drives is advisable to ensure no underlying mechanical faults remain.
