2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · DC55 ADC

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 90,788 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the latest annual records showing clean passes once minor administrative re-tests were cleared. No worsening mechanical faults appear across the available history. Mileage sits at 90,788 miles for an 11-year-old car, equating to roughly 8,250 miles per year and within typical use for the age. The record shows 81,356 miles at the 29 December 2023 test, rising to 86,670 miles by 20 December 2024 and 90,788 miles by August 2025. Accumulation is steady at near 4,300 to 4,100 miles annually. The DVSA data is sparse, with three passes and two linked fails on the same days showing no recorded defects, suggesting clerical or presentation issues rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the age. The December 2024 and July 2025 fail entries with zero defects logged imply the vehicle was presented incorrectly or withdrawn, not that faults were repaired. Verify the exhaust emissions and corrosion status independently before purchase. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing but the twin same-day fail-and-pass pairs at 86,670 and 90,786 miles hint at lax workshop preparation. Confirm service history matches the recorded mileages and check for outstanding advisory corrosion or worn consumables not captured in these bare MOT lines.
