2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · AY18 LDA

The 2026‑03‑20 MOT at 55,577 miles passed without defect, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. All previous tests from 2023 onward have also passed, showing no recurring failures. The vehicle’s mileage has risen by roughly 6,000–7,000 miles per year since 2023, matching the typical annual usage for an eight‑year‑old car and leaving no large untested gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that previously showed stress: the suspension bushes and coil springs, the condition of the brake discs and calipers, and any signs of structural rust on the sills, wheel arches and underbody, as the 2023 failure at 31,251 miles suggests prior brake or suspension remedial work. If these areas are found to be sound, the car’s overall condition appears consistent with its mileage and age, making it a viable purchase provided a thorough physical inspection confirms the absence of hidden corrosion or worn suspension components.
