2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · CW14 NES

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 March 2026 at 120,391 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects across its recorded life. Mileage stands at 120,391 miles against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 15,049 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 hatchback and points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than light local running. The records show steady annual accumulation: 78,634 miles in March 2023, 92,265 by April 2024, 104,054 by March 2025, and 120,391 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps disrupt the pattern, and the clean test slate suggests previous owners kept basic servicing current despite the above-average distance covered. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and high-wear items not captured by a pass with no defects. At this mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper performance warrant physical checks for fatigue or play. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and binding, while exhaust emissions and structural underbody corrosion need visual confirmation given the car's age and use. The duplicate 13 March 2023 entry showing both a fail and pass at identical mileage of 78,634 is a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, as no defects were listed on either record. The owner's consistent clean MOT history implies disciplined upkeep, but high annual mileage means in-person verification of drivetrain condition and tyre sidewall integrity remains prudent before purchase.
