2012 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · CK62 BYM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 113,911 miles resulted in a pass with a minor advisory for a damaged or perished nearside rear tyre. This follows a period of clean passes between 2022 and 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have met minimum DVSA standards during those inspection intervals. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns. Between September 2022 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 11,297 miles, suggesting relatively low annual use. However, between July 2024 and July 2025, the mileage increased by 48,535 miles in a single year. While the overall average of approximately 8,136 miles per year is typical for a fourteen-year-old Audi, the recent surge in mileage likely accelerated the wear on the drivetrain components, rubber bushings, and braking systems compared to previous years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the record shows recurring issues with tyre-related faults. The failure in September 2022 for exposed cords on the nearside front tyre followed by the 2025 advisory for the nearside rear tyre suggests a history of delayed replacement or age-related degradation. Given the recent high-mile stint, it is also essential to inspect the suspension for perished bushes and check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, as these components bear the most stress during periods of rapid mileage accumulation.
