2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · AE65 YMK

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 April 2025 at 72,897 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also show clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or neglected condition. Recorded mileage sits at 72,897 against an 11-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,627 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The test on 3 August 2022 at 52,840 miles preceded a gap of just over twelve months to the 9 August 2023 pass at 58,868 miles, a modest 6,028-mile addition. A duplicate 9 August 2023 entry at 58,866 miles shows a fail with no defects listed, almost certainly an administrative reversal rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Annual use then dipped to 4,441 miles by May 2024 and rose to 9,588 miles by April 2025, reflecting normal private-owner variation rather than high-stress fleet cycling. The absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or binding brake calipers means the MOT history alone exposes no structural or mechanical red flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, coil spring condition, and brake disc wear, as these items can develop between annual tests without ever triggering an advisory. Given the clean record and average mileage, prior owners appear to have maintained the car to statutory minimum standards with no deferred consumable neglect visible in the data. The vehicle warrants normal pre-purchase diligence but shows no documentary evidence of recurring faults or escalating repair patterns.
