2011 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · AF11 RWW

The 2011 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 5 September 2025 at 127,162 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. This follows a clean pass on 20 August 2024 and another on 15 August 2023, showing no escalating mechanical faults in the official data. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a fifteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,477 miles per year against the 127,162 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 109,077 miles in August 2023 to 117,920 miles in August 2024, then to 127,162 miles by September 2025, a steady annual climb of around 8,500 to 9,200 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, carrying no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions throughout. A notable pattern emerges in the failed tests logged immediately before each pass. The tester rejected the car on 4 September 2025 and again on 19 August 2024, yet recorded no defects at either failure. This points to administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the vehicle itself, though a buyer should confirm the exact reason with the DVSA. Previous keepers evidently addressed whatever was raised promptly, given the next-day passes with no defects noted. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity and consumable wear not captured by a defect-free record. Inspect coil springs, binding calipers, and suspension mounts for age-related fatigue, and check underneath for corrosion around sills and subframes. Confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the no-advisory status, since a clean MOT does not guarantee fresh rubber or blades at point of sale.
