2010 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · BY10 TON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean MOT pass from 24 November 2025 at 163,888 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed identified failures immediately. While the car failed nine miles prior to that test due to a structural tear in the offside rear tyre, the subsequent pass upon re-test indicates a proactive approach to rectifying critical safety defects rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage profile is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,243 miles per year. The data shows regular usage patterns, with 6,000 miles covered between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,800 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seizing of brake components typically seen with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the nearside front drive shaft area to verify the split CV boot recorded in December 2023 at 150,104 miles. Although this was repaired, the tester should check for grease leakage or torn rubber which would indicate a substandard or premature replacement. Given the age and mileage of the Audi, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also necessary, as these are common points of wear on this platform that were not explicitly flagged in the recent advisories.
