2017 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · DU17 AFZ

This Audi A3 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 119,198 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since July 2021. The vehicle has covered significant distance for its age, averaging roughly 13,244 miles per year. Mileage accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, increasing from 87,034 miles in July 2021 to 119,198 miles by July 2025. The consistent annual increments suggest the car has been used primarily for long-distance commuting, which typically places less strain on the engine than frequent short urban trips. The absence of MOT advisories over such a high mileage span is unusual and suggests a proactive maintenance regime by the previous owner. While the DVSA record shows no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the high mileage means these components are likely nearing the end of their natural service life. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear-and-tear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are critical. Check the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are high-mileage service items. Inspect the gearbox oil condition and listen for any drivetrain noise, as the 119,198 miles recorded place more demand on the transmission than a typical example of this age.
