2013 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · CF63 AAU

The 2013 Audi A3 with 87,668 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-04-05 recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals two failed tests in 2023 and 2025 at identical mileages (70,645 and 87,668 miles, respectively), though no specific defects were noted. This pattern suggests potential administrative errors or non-critical failures that were resolved without recorded issues. The absence of mechanical or structural defects in the latest test indicates the car has been maintained to meet legal standards, but the recurring failures without explanation raise questions about the consistency of inspections. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,744 miles annually. From 70,645 miles in 2023 to 87,668 miles in 2025, the increase of 17,023 miles over 24 months reflects steady, predictable usage. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, which reduces concerns about undue stress on components like the drivetrain or suspension. The MOT record lacks detailed advisories, suggesting the vehicle has not required urgent repairs, though this could also reflect limited data availability. A buyer should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the underbody and wheel arches, as well as check the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs. The absence of brake-related defects in the latest test is positive, but a test drive is recommended to confirm smooth braking and absence of binding calipers. Given the lack of specific mechanical notes in the MOT history, a professional inspection is advised to verify the condition of critical systems not assessed during routine tests.
