2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · CK15 KXW

The 2015 Audi A3 shows a stable roadworthiness trend with no defects recorded across its most recent five MOT tests, including the latest pass on 3 July 2025—just 12 months prior to today. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has consistently met minimum UK safety and emissions standards. However, the near-consecutive tests in February 2022 (a pass followed by a fail on the same mileage) are unusual and warrant scrutiny, particularly if the second test was delayed or if the vehicle was driven between tests without addressing underlying issues. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for its age, averaging around 7,700 miles annually. The largest gap between tests occurred between April 2023 (51,408 miles) and June 2024 (69,480 miles), a span of 14 months—slightly longer than the usual 12-month interval. This could imply either extended periods of non-use or a deliberate deferral of the MOT. The recorded mileage of 84,868 miles at the latest test aligns with expected wear for an 11-year-old vehicle, though the lack of advisories in recent tests suggests no immediate cause for alarm regarding high-mileage components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as Audi models of this era are prone to wear in these areas. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was driven between the February 2022 tests without servicing. Structural integrity—particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the rear subframe—should be examined for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in older Audi models. The absence of advisories does not preclude hidden issues, so a thorough visual and functional assessment is essential.
