2018 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · BW58 XXX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 95,333 miles passed, it flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests a lack of recent consumable inspections prior to the MOT, as the tyres were allowed to deteriorate to the point of failure before being addressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK use for this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of distance between tests, moving from 57,545 miles in July 2022 to 90,358 miles in May 2025, followed by a significant 5,000-mile interval before the May 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which aligns with the expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus specifically on the rear braking and suspension systems. The record shows recurring issues with rear brake pads across three consecutive tests from 2022 to 2024, indicating the owner repeatedly ignored this component until potentially hazardous. Furthermore, the 2024 test identified oil misting on both rear shock absorbers at 81,490 miles. Given the current mileage of over 95,000 miles, a physical inspection is required to determine if the shock absorbers have progressed to a full leak, which would compromise handling and affect tyre wear.
