2012 Audi A3 1.2L Petrol · DA62 LEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted on 20 May 2025 at 84,495 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just one day prior. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative oversight or a trivial consumable issue that was addressed instantly, as the vehicle has maintained a defect-free status for the last year of testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-mid-range use, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 5,506 miles, while it added 4,294 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates low mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though the age of the vehicle means age-related rubber components and seals should still be monitored for dry rot. While the digital history shows no recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus on common wear points for an Audi A3 of this era. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes which can occur from infrequent use. Inspect the front subframe and engine mounts for early signs of surface rust, as the MOT record does not always capture minor structural degradation until it reaches a failure threshold.
