2011 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · AB54 GOT

The Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 at 124,165 miles with no defects recorded, so the vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass. The maintenance trend shows a clean bill of health at the latest test, but the preceding weeks reveal administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. Three consecutive tests in June and July 2025 failed with no defects logged, which points to documentation or process issues at the testing station rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage sits at 124,165 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 8,278 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The gap between the 2 April 2024 pass at 113,720 miles and the June 2025 failures shows about 10,445 miles added in fourteen months, a steady accumulation with no sudden spike. Records are sparse across the vehicle's life, offering only two pass points and three zero-defect failures in the final year, so long-term wear patterns before 2024 stay undocumented. The repeated 2025 failures carrying no recorded defects mean a buyer cannot rely on the MOT line items to expose worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or tired brake discs. Given the car is fifteen years old, in-person checks should target structural integrity underneath, front coil springs, and rear trailing arm bushes for age-related fatigue. Verify the exhaust emissions and caliper operation on a road test, since the history gives no evidence these were scrutinised. Previous owners kept the odometer progression modest and cleared the final test clean, yet the cluster of zero-defect failures suggests the car changed hands or sat through multiple test attempts late in its life. Inspect service stamps against the 2024 and 2025 mileage points to confirm consumables like tyres and wiper blades were replaced outside the MOT regime.
