2015 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · DC15 HBP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 20 August 2025 at 84,016 miles. While the history shows intermittent failures, the owner has consistently addressed major defects to achieve successful re-tests. The most recent two annual tests show no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently sits in a mechanically sound state regarding its primary safety and emissions components. At 11 years old with 84,016 miles, the Audi has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage between tests shows consistent use, with roughly 2,300 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 2,331 miles recorded in the following year. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not being left sitting, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the August 2024 failure at 81,685 miles, which specifically flagged a missing catalytic converter and an inability to complete emissions tests. These significant flags suggest either a major component failure or an attempt to bypass emissions standards in the past. A physical inspection must verify that the current catalytic converter is a genuine part and not showing signs of aftermarket tampering. Additionally, the previous failure for low front tyres on that same date indicates a period where basic consumable maintenance was neglected, necessitating a thorough check of current tyre tread depths and brake pad wear.
