2007 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · CA02 ALE

The 2007 Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2023 at 136,025 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently stable roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend shows no worsening mechanical issues across the available record, though the two failed tests in early 2021 and 2022 were logged with no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation faults rather than genuine mechanical failures on those dates. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,159 miles per year. The record moves from 124,702 miles at the January 2021 failure to 130,236 miles at the January 2022 pass, then to 136,025 miles by January 2023. That is about 5,500 to 6,000 miles added annually. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and clean passes aside from the two no-defect failures, so no rapid accumulation or long-standing gaps are evident. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 136,025 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but nineteen years of use will likely have degraded consumable mounts and exhaust hangers beyond the scope of a clean test. The repeated no-defect failures on 12 and 17 January 2021 and 2022 hint the previous owner deferred paperwork or presented the car poorly rather than skipped mechanical upkeep. Verify the vehicle has since been tested beyond January 2023, as the record is now over three years old relative to today's date.
