2011 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · AD11 AEW

The Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 13 December 2025 at 200,600 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at the time of testing. The underlying maintenance trend is difficult to classify as stable, worsening, or resolving because the three failures in late 2025 at 200,513, 200,585, and 200,585 miles each carried no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. The clean pass in November 2024 at 192,009 miles and the clean pass in December 2025 show no flagged advisories across a 12-month, 8,591-mile interval. At roughly 15 years old the car shows 200,600 miles on the clock, an average of about 13,373 miles per year and a high total for the model age. The record shows 191,995 miles on 23 October 2024, then 192,009 on 28 November 2024, followed by a jump to 200,513 by 26 November 2025. That 8,500-mile accumulation in the final year is consistent with regular commuting use rather than standing idle. No long dormant gaps appear, though the sparse history of only five entries limits insight into intermediate wear. Because every test outcome lists no defects, the DVSA data raises no specific suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns for the buyer to chase. The repeated 2025 failures with zero defects warrant a check of the V5C and test certificates to confirm they were not data-entry errors or withdrawn tests. A physical inspection should still assess structural integrity, underbody rust, and consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades given the high mileage, even though the record itself stays silent on wear.
