2004 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · DC54 BHO

The Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 200,097 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at the time of test. The maintenance trend shows a clean and stable record overall, though the two immediate prior failures on 11 and 18 September 2025 at 200,078 and 200,089 miles are anomalous. Both failures listed no defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault. The odometer reads 200,097 miles against a 2004 build, averaging roughly 9,095 miles per year, a typical figure for the age. From the 2023 test at 183,825 miles through April 2024 at 192,551 miles the car covered about 8,700 miles, then jumped near 200,000 by September 2025. The sparse history with only five entries across 22 years gives limited visibility, but no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 200,000-mile use. The repeated September 2025 failures with no recorded defects warrant confirmation that the V5C and test documentation are in order and that no suppressed faults exist. Check coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre condition in person, as these consumables are not captured by a clean pass sheet.
