2015 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · DC15 UEB

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 January 2026 at 87,679 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The January 2026 pass came one day after a failure on 8 January 2026 at 87,678 miles where the tester logged no defects, a pattern repeated exactly twelve months earlier when a 11 December 2024 failure at 73,440 miles preceded a pass on 12 December 2024 with no defects recorded. Such back-to-back fail-pass pairs with zero defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical fault, and the vehicle carries no advisories or recorded wear across any entry. The mileage progression shows 61,809 miles at the January 2024 test, rising to 73,440 by December 2024 and 87,679 by January 2026, equating to roughly 7,900 miles per year and matching typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The record is sparse with only three test years captured and no minor consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, or brake discs ever flagged, which limits insight into owner care but shows no evidence of neglect or deferred maintenance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the age and the absence of any advisory history that would confirm these items were checked closely. The repeated no-defect failures without stated reason warrant a query to the testing station or a review of the failure paperwork, as the DVSA record alone does not explain why the car was rejected. No structural corrosion or emissions concerns appear in the data, but eleven years of use means underside corrosion and exhaust condition should be verified on the ramp.
