2010 Audi A3 1.8L Petrol · AF60 MTK

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 131,723 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 31 August 2023 at 130,092 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have accumulated across the visible history. Recorded mileage sits at 131,723 against a 2010 build, an average of roughly 8,200 miles per year. The history shows light annual use: 121,525 miles in August 2021 rose to 128,033 by August 2022, then 130,068 by August 2023. A failed test on 23 August 2023 at 130,068 miles listed no defects, with a pass eight days later at 130,092 miles, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Only 1,631 miles were added between August 2023 and July 2025, indicating the car stood largely idle in that period. The sparse, clean record gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues to chase. A buyer should still verify structural integrity underneath for age-related rust and check for perished rubber from the low-use stretch. The 2023 fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation the DVSA entry reflects a paperwork retest, not a suppressed fault. Given the long idle from 2023 to 2025, inspect brake calipers for binding and tyres for sidewall cracking before purchase. The previous owner kept consumable wear minimal, but standing time on a 16-year-old car demands a hands-on check of fluids and flexible components.
