2017 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · CG02 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 59,996 miles passed, it flagged a corroded nearside front drive shaft and rear anti-roll bar. Although these issues did not result in a failure, the presence of corrosion on moving components suggests that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related environmental wear despite its relatively low mileage. At 59,996 miles over nine years, the Audi has averaged approximately 6,666 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage patterns. The mileage intervals between tests are consistent, with roughly 7,800 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2025 tests, and nearly 9,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, though the 2024 failure revealed exposed ply cords and structural failures across multiple tyres. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and suspension components. The record shows a persistent history of worn and pitted brake discs dating back to at least October 2022, indicating the owner tends to delay replacing components until they reach a failure threshold. The 2024 failure due to structural tyre damage across all four corners suggests a previous neglect of basic safety inspections. In person, a thorough check of the corroded nearside front drive shaft and the rear anti-roll bar is essential to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the surface level noted in the last inspection.
