2012 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · AL10 ABC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear history of addressing mechanical failures immediately upon detection. The most recent test on August 19 2025 at 113,090 miles passed with no defects, following a minor failure just three days prior for a misaligned headlamp. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying MOT issues to maintain legal compliance, and the vehicle has maintained a clean-sheet record for the last three consecutive tests. The recorded mileage of 113,090 miles over 14 years reflects a consistent pattern of approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a German hatchback of this age. The data shows regular annual testing intervals with increments of roughly 3,500 to 7,000 miles between 2021 and 2025. This regularity indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage which often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and brake-related fluid components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension, as these have shown recurring issues. The 2022 failure at 99,491 miles highlighted low efficiency in both the service and parking brakes, following a 2018 report of pitted discs and thin pads. While these appear to be resolved, an inspector should check for binding calipers or uneven pad wear that might indicate the underlying issue persists. Additionally, the history of uneven tyre wear and under-inflation in 2018, 2019, and 2022 warrants a check of the suspension geometry and the condition of the rubber bushes for excessive play.
