2010 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · BT60 UOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that shows improvement over time. The most recent MOT conducted in February 2024 at 109,210 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and consumable issues were addressed. This clean result is a positive progression from the 2023 test where the tester flagged a nearside front shock absorber and a worn offside front tyre. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between January 2021 at 64,841 miles and February 2024 at 109,210 miles, the car covered 44,369 miles, representing a steady and reasonable usage rate. This low annual mileage generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and seals may be subject to environmental degradation regardless of the distance driven. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly, given the history of shock absorber leaks. The record noted misting on the nearside front in 2023 and the offside rear in 2020, so a buyer must check for active oil leaks or perished bushings across all four corners. Additionally, while the 2021 test flagged pitted and scored brake discs, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the rotors to ensure they were replaced since that specific inspection. Since the last MOT was performed over two years ago as of June 2026, the current roadworthiness status is lapsed or unverified. The buyer should prioritize an immediate MOT test to check for new structural corrosion or brake binding that may have developed during the hiatus. Attention to the tyres is also necessary as the history shows a recurring pattern of uneven wear and physical damage.
