2015 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · CT15 CLV

The 2015 Audi A3 with 60,659 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-07-31 at 60,659 miles recorded a pass with no defects. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~5,514 miles suggests minimal wear on consumables like tyres and fluids, though prolonged inactivity could affect components such as suspension bushes or brake discs. No structural corrosion or emission concerns were flagged in the records. The MOT history reveals a 12-month gap between the 2022-08-03 test at 42,672 miles and the next at 48,734 miles in 2023-08-07, followed by steady annual testing. This pattern implies irregular usage or periods of storage, which may have contributed to the 2022 failure at 42,672 miles—though no defects were recorded. The low mileage relative to age raises questions about long-term mechanical inactivity, such as potential brake binding or battery degradation, but no such issues were noted in subsequent checks. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, including corrosion in hidden panels, brake disc warping, or suspension component stiffness. The absence of advisories in recent tests is positive, but the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a minor technical issue or an indicator of underlying neglect. Checking the service history for brake fluid changes, battery condition, and suspension bush wear would provide further clarity on the car’s mechanical health.
