2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · LN68 AOL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 36,663 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently sits in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of clean passes in previous years, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. A gap exists between the September 2022 test at 11,258 miles and the October 2023 test at 21,004 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has slowed considerably, with only about 8,600 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low frequency of use typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. Despite the clean MOT history, the buyer should remain vigilant regarding issues associated with low-mileage vehicles. Stationary periods can lead to flat-spotted, perished tyres, seized brake calipers, or degraded rubber bushings and hoses. The failure recorded in October 2023 at 21,004 miles, which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass, suggests a specific component required urgent attention at that time. A physical inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on the brake discs and the condition of the suspension assembly to ensure the age of the vehicle has not caused unrelated fatigue despite the low distance driven.
