2017 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · AV17 VXH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on June 30, 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, despite a momentary failure on that same day due to a structural sidewall tear on the nearside rear tyre. This defect was rectified immediately as the car passed with no further defects, suggesting the owner is responsive to urgent safety-critical failures when identified by the tester. At approximately nine years of age, the recorded mileage of 46,330 is significantly below the national average, averaging roughly 5,150 miles per annum. This low usage profile typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with approximately 6,000 miles driven between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,300 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. These intervals suggest the vehicle is used for short local trips rather than long-distance commuting. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and rubber components. The July 2023 test at 35,158 miles flagged thin brake pads on three of the four wheels. While these were likely replaced since, a buyer should verify that the brake discs show no signs of excessive pitting or corrosion from long periods of standing. Given the low mileage and the recent tyre failure, the inspector should also check for age-related cracking in the remaining tyres and suspension bushes, as rubber elements can degrade over time even if the vehicle is not driven frequently.
