2017 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · CE67 YGL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 95,855 miles resulted in a pass, it highlighted recurring issues with tyre wear and brake components. The transition from a failure in June 2024 to a pass a week later suggests that essential repairs were only addressed when forced by the MOT tester, rather than being maintained during scheduled service intervals. At 95,855 miles, this nine-year-old Audi has covered a typical annual distance of approximately 10,600 miles. However, there is a significant jump in usage recorded between February 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in just 16 months. This period of higher use correlates with the rapid degradation observed in the braking system and tyres, which moved from general advisories in early 2023 to specific failures involving pitted discs and thin pads by mid-2024. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record consistently flags inner-edge wear on the front tyres across 2024 and 2025. This pattern typically indicates misalignment or worn suspension bushes that have gone unaddressed. Additionally, the oil leak noted in June 2024 requires a close visual inspection of the engine seals and sump gasket to ensure the rate of loss has not worsened, as the MOT tester only identifies excessive leakage and does not guarantee a stable mechanical failure.
