2004 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · DC04 JVD

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 90,941 miles, which returned a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend across the available record is stable, with four consecutive annual passes and a single failure on 10 October 2025 at 90,922 miles that recorded no defects, suggesting the failure stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than a fault requiring repair. Recorded mileage sits at 90,941 against a 22-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 4,134 miles per year and confirming light use. The tests show gentle, consistent accumulation: 85,841 miles in October 2022, 87,487 in October 2023, 89,379 in October 2024, and 90,922 to 90,941 across the two October 2025 tests. No gaps exceed twelve months and no rapid accumulation appears. The clean advisory columns across every entry indicate the previous owner kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the age and the likelihood of prolonged standing that low mileage implies. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration from inactivity, and verify the exhaust emissions system is sound despite the clean record. The October 2025 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation that the DVSA entry reflects a paperwork or presentation issue rather than an omitted fault.
