2017 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · AX17 KYS

The 2025‑11‑11 MOT at 59,399 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding tests in late 2024 and 2023 also showed passes after earlier failures, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 46,815 miles in November 2023 to 59,399 miles by July 2026, an average of roughly 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 2017 model. The interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests covered about 6,000 miles in a year, and the subsequent year added a similar distance, suggesting consistent annual usage without abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or uneven wear, and check the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, especially around the rear subframe and sills. Although the MOT history lists no recorded defects, the age and mileage make these components prime candidates for hidden deterioration, and a visual inspection of the exhaust system for rust or leaks is advisable. Finally, verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and fluid levels, as these consumables often reflect the level of routine care the previous owner provided. The absence of documented failures suggests diligent servicing, but a thorough in‑person assessment remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s true mechanical condition.
