AUDI A3 ATTRACTION A32000 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past eleven years. The last recorded test occurred in October 2015 at 86,013 miles, where it passed after failing on a nearside front suspension arm bush. Since that entry, the mechanical condition of the structural integrity, braking system, and emissions equipment is entirely unknown. The maintenance trend cannot be established as stable or improving because the vehicle has not undergone a documented professional roadworthiness check in over a decade. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty-six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between October 2013 and October 2015, the car covered only 12,316 miles over two years. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seized calipers, and fluid contamination. The massive gap in records starting from 2015 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been used off-road without required legal testing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components that previously showed a pattern of failure. The history shows recurring issues with the suspension arm rubber bushes and steering rack inner joints, which were flagged in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The 2014 failure noted a binding nearside rear brake and a worn disc, indicating a history of brake caliper neglect. Given the age and the time since the last test, an inspection for structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the tyres is critical, as they likely perished from age despite the low mileage.
