2008 Audi A3 1.9L Diesel · AA08 KBX

The most recent test on 18 March 2022 returned a pass at 236,290 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's documented roadworthiness status as currently valid but stale by over four years. The maintenance trend shown across the two adjacent entries is neither worsening nor improving in any meaningful mechanical sense, as the only failure on 17 March 2022 at 236,282 miles carried no recorded defects and was reversed within a day. The odometer shows 236,290 miles against an 18-year life, averaging roughly 13,127 miles per year, which is high for a 2008 Audi A3 and points to sustained daily use rather than gentle weekend motoring. The record jumps from a failed test at 236,282 miles on 17 March 2022 to a pass at 236,290 miles the next day, then stops entirely. No further tests appear before today's date of 8 July 2026, so the car has covered an unknown distance and received no documented inspection for over four years. A buyer should treat the four-year MOT gap as the principal risk. Without a test since March 2022, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers will have aged unseen, and structural corrosion on sills or subframes may now exceed permitted limits. The clean defect list at the last pass gives no prior advisories to track, so no recurring fault trend exists in the data. Given the high mileage and dormant record, a physical inspection must confirm exhaust emissions, tyre tread depth, and underbody integrity before any road use. The same-day fail-and-pass with zero defects suggests an administrative correction rather than a repair, so the 2022 result offers little assurance for 2026 condition.
