2011 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · AF11 RXB

The 2011 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 162,507 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 8 August 2023 at 146,121 miles confirms no advisory or failure issues across the visible history. The single blemish is a failed test logged on 1 August 2024 at 156,696 miles, immediately re-tested and passed the same day with no defects cited, which points to an administrative or minor pre-check anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage has accumulated in line with typical use for a fifteen-year-old car. The record shows 138,100 miles in September 2022, rising to 146,121 by August 2023, then 156,696 by August 2024, and 162,507 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year across the documented span, slightly under the 10,834 annual average. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear; the sparse five-entry history stays clean apart from the same-day fail-pass event. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 162,507-mile distance travelled. The MOT record flags no corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission concerns, yet high-mileage Audis of this era commonly develop worn front control-arm bushes and rear trailing-arm play not always caught in a pass with no defects. Verify the 1 August 2024 failure reason via the DVSA portal, since the supplied data lists no defects despite the fail. Confirm service history covers timing belt, water pump, and DSG mechatronics if fitted. The clean advisory-free passes suggest previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the same-day fail hints at a lapse in pre-test preparation rather than neglected mechanical care.
