2009 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · AD59 FFL

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 December 2024 at 161,399 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 14 December 2023 at 153,902 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two annual examinations without advisories or faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,500 miles, typical for a 2009 hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 140,423 miles in December 2021, 150,735 in December 2022, 153,902 in December 2023, and 161,399 by December 2024. The DVSA data is sparse but clean across five years, with only a failed entry on 9 December 2023 immediately followed by a pass five days later at identical mileage and no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the first centre rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 17-year age and 161,000-mile use. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns, which implies previous owners kept the body and drivetrain within test limits. Without recurring advisories in the record, there is no evidence of worsening wear on consumables or serious mechanical risk. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition match the clean test history before purchase.
