2018 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · DK64 ADS

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The March 2024 test at 83,338 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful tests throughout 2023 and 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The data shows a steady progression from 48,649 miles in May 2021 to 77,749 miles in March 2023, before reaching 83,338 miles in the most recent test. This average of approximately 10,000 miles per year indicates regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent seal degradation and fluid contamination. While the MOT history shows no ongoing trends of structural corrosion or suspension wear, the failure recorded on 19 May 2021 at 48,649 miles warrants a closer look at what caused the initial non-compliance. Although the subsequent tests were clean, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of uneven tyre wear or minor bushing degradation that may have been addressed following that failure. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, calipers, or exhaust emissions in the recent history is a positive indicator of mechanical health. Given the current mileage of 83,338, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of consumables such as the timing belt, water pump, and suspension components to ensure they align with the clean electronic record.
