2004 Audi A3 3.2L Petrol · AG04 WCL

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and positive roadworthiness trend, having secured four consecutive clean passes without a single advisory notice. The most recent MOT conducted on 17 September 2025 at 132,168 miles confirms that the core safety systems, including the braking, steering, and structural components, met the required standards without issue. This consistent record of defect-free inspections suggests that the previous keeper has maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing potential wear before it escalated into a formal test failure. The recorded mileage of 132,168 over a twenty-two-year lifespan averages approximately 6,008 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a very steady pattern of use, with the vehicle covering roughly 2,862 miles across the last four years of testing. This minimal annual accumulation indicates the car has likely been used for light, short-distance commuting or leisure driving rather than heavy motorway service. There are no concerning gaps in the testing history, which provides confidence that the vehicle has remained in active, regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts, as these components often degrade on vehicles of this vintage even when they pass MOT inspections. While the recent history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for hidden corrosion on the sills and floor pans that might not always be captured in a standard test. You should also verify the health of the drivetrain and cooling system, as the recent low-mileage usage might mask underlying issues with rubber hoses or seals that have aged due to time rather than mechanical stress.
