2009 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · BD58 HZB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 with 192,362 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a specific failure in mid-2024 that was immediately addressed. The clean sheet from the last two annual tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once they reach inspection thresholds. At 17 years old, the 192,362 miles represent an average of approximately 11,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between May 2022 and May 2023, and another 9,000 miles between May 2023 and July 2024. This regular interval suggests the car is driven regularly, which often helps prevent seal degradation and moisture-related issues common in stationary cars. The failure in July 2024 at 183,167 miles highlights a lapse in basic consumable maintenance, as the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and worn discs alongside an incorrectly coloured nearside indicator. While these were resolved for the subsequent pass, a buyer should inspect the current state of the rear brake calipers and rotors for signs of uneven wear or seizing. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential to check for perished rubber or fractures, alongside any structural corrosion on the inner sills and subframe, which are common failure points on this model.
