2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · RJ67 AEP

This 2017 Audi A3 presents a clean MOT record with no recorded failures or advisories across its last five tests, the most recent being a pass in December 2025 at 83,101 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and unremarkable, with no recurring defects or developing patterns of wear flagged by any tester. This suggests the vehicle has been consistently maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements, though the absence of advisories does not guarantee the absence of underlying mechanical deterioration. The recorded mileage of 83,101 miles over approximately nine years yields an average of roughly 9,233 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this class and age. The annual mileage increments are consistent, with no sudden jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity indicated by the test dates. The gap between the January 2024 test at 65,444 miles and the December 2024 test at 79,474 miles shows a higher usage rate of about 14,000 miles in eleven months, but this is not excessive and likely reflects a change in driving pattern rather than neglect. Because the MOT history is entirely clear, a buyer should focus a pre-purchase inspection on components that commonly degrade with age and mileage but may not trigger an MOT advisory until they become critical. Pay close attention to suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, brake discs for lipping and pad wear, and the condition of all tyres including the spare. Check for any signs of structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as these can develop silently. A full service history, particularly for the timing belt and gearbox oil changes, should be verified to confirm that routine maintenance has kept pace with the car's mileage.
