2010 Audi A3 1.8L Petrol · CV10 FJD

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 86,007 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, with four consecutive passes prior to a single failure on 23 February 2026 at 85,997 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven halt. No advisories appear on any entry, which indicates no flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the seen history. Mileage stands low for a 2010 vehicle, totalling 86,007 miles or roughly 5,375 per year. The records show gentle annual use: 68,911 miles on 7 February 2023, 72,738 on 2 February 2024, 75,898 on 26 February 2025, then 85,997 by 23 February 2026. That is about 10,000 miles added in the final year, a mild rise from prior ~3,000 to 4,000 annual spans, yet still light. The clean sheet across five years implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though sparse entries leave long untested gaps between February tests each year. A buyer should still inspect in person for latent issues the MOT did not capture. Low mileage with probable standing periods raises risk of perished rubber components, stiff suspension arms, and surface corrosion on sills or subframes not yet at test threshold. The February 2026 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation the logbook and V5C match the test status to rule out a clerical mismatch. Check brake calipers for free movement after idle, and review tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread loss. Given the uneventful record, mechanical risk reads low, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sound practice on a sixteen-year-old car.
