2015 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · B14 KBE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 24 April 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a period of increasing advisories, suggesting a transition from mechanical failures to structural corrosion concerns. While the immediate roadworthiness status appears stable following the latest test, the recorded history shows a trend of worsening advisories regarding the rear suspension and braking components over the last three years. The vehicle has covered 107,719 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 9,793 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical UK driving habits for a vehicle of this age. The MOT continuity is consistent, with tests occurring annually, though the 2023 record shows a failure occurring just two days before a successful retest on 05 October 2023. The braking system required significant attention in October 2023 when the tester recorded a failure for excessively fluctuating nearside rear service brakes alongside advisories for thin pads and pitted rear discs. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the October 2025 inspection flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms. A buyer should physically inspect these suspension arms for the extent of the corrosion and check for any signs of structural weakening. The 2024 advisory regarding a nearside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit indicates a need for regular consumable monitoring. Given the recent focus on rear suspension corrosion and previous brake fluctuations, a thorough inspection of the rear axle assembly, brake calipers, and suspension mounting points is necessary to ensure the reported corrosion has not progressed beyond the advisory stage. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.
