2017 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · CV67 EDP

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 59,403 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests from 2023 through 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 August 2024 at 52,393 miles that was immediately re-presented and passed the next day with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,600 miles, typical for a 2017 vehicle of this class. The odometer moved from 36,144 miles at the 14 September 2022 test to 44,939 miles by 4 September 2023, then 52,393 miles by August 2024, and 59,403 miles by August 2025. The record shows steady, low yearly accumulation with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The clean sweep of passes with zero advisories across five years implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse defect data limits insight into underlying wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's nine years in service. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns, so no recurring mechanical trend warrants caution. The same-day fail and pass in August 2024 deserves a check of the DVSA refusal reason to confirm it was paperwork rather than a concealed defect. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers, consumable wear remains undocumented rather than proven absent. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise underbody condition and brake component measurement to validate the clean record against real-world wear at 59,403 miles.
