AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy as the last recorded MOT test occurred on 22 December 2021. This leaves a gap of over four years since the car was legally certified for road use. While the December 2021 test eventually passed at 124,778 miles, the record shows two failures on the same day and a prior failure on 7 September 2021. The lack of any recorded tests between 2022 and 2026 indicates a period of prolonged dormancy or off-road storage. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,239 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between January 2019 and January 2020, where the odometer rose from 103,406 to 117,569 miles. However, the car has remained static at 124,778 miles for nearly five years. This suggests the vehicle has not been driven since late 2021. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of all rubber components and fluids due to this extended period of inactivity. Brake calipers are prone to seizing and discs often suffer from heavy surface corrosion when left standing. The tyres should be checked for flat spots and perished sidewalls, regardless of remaining tread. The absence of specific defect data in the provided record makes it impossible to identify recurring mechanical trends. However, the 2006 Audi A3 chassis is susceptible to corrosion in the suspension mounting points and sills. Given the long gap in testing, a professional check of the structural integrity and a full engine service are essential before attempting to return the car to the road.
