AUDI A32013 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2013 Audi A3 with 99,170 miles is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-10-22, which recorded a pass. However, a prior test on 2025-10-20 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, creating an ambiguous maintenance trend. The absence of specific issues in both tests suggests either a procedural anomaly or minor non-compliances that were resolved. The vehicle’s last three MOTs from 2023-10-20 to 2025-10-22 show no recurring mechanical failures, indicating stable performance despite the recent failed test. The mileage of 99,170 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of 7,628 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for the model. Gaps between MOTs, such as the 13-month interval between 2023-10-20 (85,191 miles) and 2024-11-12 (95,556 miles), suggest consistent but not excessive wear. No rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the lack of defects in most tests implies no critical structural or mechanical degradation. However, the repeated failures at identical mileages—2023-10-20 and 2025-10-20—warrant scrutiny, as they may indicate unresolved issues or testing inconsistencies. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are prone to wear in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in MOT records is reassuring, but the failed tests without recorded faults highlight the need to verify electrical systems, emission controls, and minor alignment issues. No major advisories are noted, but the vehicle’s history suggests a cautious approach to long-term reliability, particularly given the unresolved failure at 99,170 miles.
