2017 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · CV17 GOE

The 2017 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2025-07-08 at 53,215 miles passed with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage averages 5,913 against a nine-year life, which is low for the age. The records show steady, light use: 20,969 miles in August 2021, rising to 30,175 by August 2022, 37,907 by July 2023, 45,405 by July 2024, and 53,215 by July 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the owner added roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles each year. Such low, consistent running often means long idle periods, which can hide perished rubber and surface corrosion not caught in a pass. The clean MOT sheet gives no tester-flagged items on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. A buyer should still inspect for undertray corrosion and damp-related wiring faults common on low-use German cars. Check the condition of tyres and brake calipers for sticking after standstill, since the record cannot confirm in-service wear. Given five straight passes with no advisories, prior keepers maintained statutory testing but the history reveals nothing about interim servicing. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm cambelt interval, fluid changes, and real-world brake binding beyond the MOT scope.
