2010 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · AD10 NMA

The 2010 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 145,788 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from February 2024 through March 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 28 February 2023 at 132,211 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed the very next day on 1 March 2023 at the same mileage, indicating the failure was administrative or resolved without a noted defect. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the dataset. The mileage pattern sits at roughly 9,112 miles per year against a 16-year life, a typical figure for the age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 132,211 miles in early 2023, 137,426 in February 2024, 141,801 in March 2025, and 145,788 in February 2026. The gap between the 1 March 2023 pass and the 16 February 2024 test is under twelve months, and the four-year span adds only about 13,577 miles. The history is sparse and clean, with no rapid accumulation or standing periods evident from the numbers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts given the vehicle's age and 145,788 miles. The clean MOT record means no recurring mechanical faults flag specific weak points, but the unlisted 28 February 2023 failure warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason if available. Examine coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake calipers for age-related wear not yet at test threshold, and confirm tyre tread and brake pad depth match the recorded low-wear profile.
