2006 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · AF56 PVT

The Audi A3 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 3 May 2025 at 134,669 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, showing clean passes once the vehicle cleared its test requirements. Two earlier failures on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 carry no listed defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,733 miles per year against the car's 2006 build, a light-use pattern for a two-decade-old hatchback. The record moves from 121,852 miles at the May 2023 test to 129,496 miles in May 2024, then 134,669 miles by May 2025. That is about 7,600 and 5,200 miles in the respective years, tracking close to the long-term mean with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The sparse DVSA data gives the buyer little to act on beyond confirming no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions were raised across the three years. A clean sheet at this age and mileage suggests prior owners kept basic consumable wear in check, though absence of recorded faults is not proof of condition. A physical inspection should still confirm structural integrity underneath, check coil springs and binding calipers for age-related fatigue, and verify tyre tread and wiper blades. The twin zero-defect failures warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to rule out clerical anomalies before purchase.
