2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · DA64 PZK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the May 2026 test at 93,086 miles. This most recent result follows a period of inconsistent maintenance during 2025, where the car failed in June due to multiple tyre tread depth issues, brake pad wear, and brake imbalance. The transition from the failures in June 2025 to a defect-free result in May 2026 suggests that the necessary consumable repairs and adjustments were completed, effectively resolving the previous mechanical concerns. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,462 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 30,509 miles in February 2018 to the current 93,086 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the jump from 77,702 miles in May 2024 to 86,068 miles in June 2025 indicates a slightly higher annual usage during that specific interval. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a history of shock absorber issues, specifically a serious fluid leak on both rear units in June 2022, which followed a light misting reported in May 2021. While these were likely addressed, the suspension components should be checked for any signs of renewed weeping or damping failure. The recurring issues with tyres and brake pad thickness across 2018 and 2025 suggest a pattern of running consumables close to their legal limits before addressing them. The 2025 failure specifically flagged imbalanced rear brakes and worn tyres on multiple corners. Although the May 2026 test showed no defects, a thorough check of the brake discs and calipers is advisable to ensure the imbalance issue was fully rectified and not merely masked by new pads. Checking the tyre wear patterns is also necessary to confirm that the suspension geometry remains within specification, as previous advisories frequently noted tyres wearing on the edges.
