2018 Audi A3 1.0L Petrol · CX18 GYK

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 49,603 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 2 July 2024 at 40,664 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure logged on 2 July 2024 at 40,664 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year record. Mileage progression stays consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 27,214 miles at the 30 June 2022 test to 33,447 miles by 26 June 2023, then to 40,664 miles by 2 July 2024, and reached 49,603 miles by 29 July 2025. That equates to roughly 6,200 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The clean history across all dates suggests previous owners kept to scheduled testing and avoided deferred consumable replacement cycles that normally surface as tyre or wiper advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of flagged coil springs, binding calipers, or structural integrity concerns in the MOT data does not preclude latent wear invisible to the annual test. Given the low annual mileage, check for perished rubber components and mild underbody corrosion from prolonged damp standing. Verify the 2 July 2024 failure reason at the DVSA portal before purchase, as the zero-defect entry is irregular. Confirm service history matches the 8,939-mile gain between July 2024 and July 2025 to rule out odometer inconsistency.
