2006 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · WG56 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 15 September 2023 at 131,503 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car was in a compliant mechanical state at that time, though the MOT has now lapsed by nearly two years relative to the current date of 16 July 2026. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,575 miles per year. The distance covered between October 2020 and September 2023 shows a steady increase from 115,204 to 131,503 miles. A minor anomaly appears in September 2022, where the car failed on 6 September and passed three days later at 123,769 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for either entry. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over several years is unusual for a twenty year old Audi A3. While the data suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the lack of recorded wear on consumables implies either a rigorous maintenance regime or a lack of detailed reporting by the testers. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust often develops regardless of MOT outcomes. Given the long gap since the last test in 2023, the current state of the tyres, brake pads, and fluid levels is unknown. The vehicle has likely stood for a significant period, meaning the battery, tyres, and braking system should be checked for flat spots or seizure before use.
