2006 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · A3 XSO

The 2006 Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 178,417 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that date. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with each annual test ultimately resulting in a pass and no advisories or faults logged at any stage. Recorded mileage rose from 163,326 in the March 2024 test to 172,004 by March 2025, then to 178,417 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 8,700 to 8,900 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a twenty-year-old vehicle and showing no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three pass results and two same-day failures showing no recorded defects, so the file gives little insight into consumable wear or hidden mechanical condition. The repeated failed tests on 10 March 2025 and 30 March 2026 list no defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity in person, as an eighteen-year-old Audi at this mileage is prone to corrosion and worn dampers even when the MOT shows a clean sheet. Given the clean advisory history, previous owners likely kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagging wear items early. Verify the service record and check exhaust emissions and tyre tread depth on viewing, since the MOT offers no evidence of ongoing care beyond statutory compliance.
