2010 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · AF10 VCY

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 31 July 2025 at 148,403 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with each annual test clearing clean once the initial failure was administratively resolved. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or recurring defects in the recorded period. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 16-year-old car, rising from 124,760 miles at the May 2023 test to 133,899 miles by July 2024 and 148,403 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 9,275 miles per year, reflecting steady private use rather than standing idle or high-stress mileage. The record shows a sparse but clean pattern, with only three test years logged and no gap exceeding fourteen months. The duplicated failure and pass entries on both 31 July 2024 and 31 July 2025 at near-identical mileages (133,898/133,899 and 148,402/148,403) point to administrative re-tests rather than genuine faults, as no defects were listed on either side. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion given the age and 148,000-mile accumulation, since the MOT record does not capture wear below failure threshold. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the thin history offers limited insight into intermediate servicing. Verify service records and check for structural integrity issues around subframes and sills that a clean MOT may not flag at this mileage.
