2013 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · AY63 VGL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 113,847 miles showed a pass just two days after a failure. That failure was triggered by a supplementary restraint system warning lamp and worn front tyres. While the airbag fault appears to have been addressed, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner only replaces components when they reach a failure threshold. At 113,847 miles over 13 years, the Audi has averaged approximately 8,757 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The records show consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between the July 2024 and June 2025 tests, and another 13,000 miles between June 2023 and July 2024. This regular use suggests the mechanical has not suffered from long periods of stagnation that often lead to seal degradation. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the record consistently flags front tyres worn on the edges in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This pattern often indicates out of tracking or worn control arm bushes which accelerate tyre degradation. The light misting on the offside rear shock absorber noted in July 2022 at 79,030 miles should be checked to ensure it has not progressed to a significant leak. Given the recent SRS failure, a diagnostic scan is also necessary to confirm the airbag fault code is fully cleared and no secondary issues remain.
