2015 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · E26 CCS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent stability following a period of recurring failures between 2019 and 2024. The last two tests in 2025 and 2026 were clean, indicating that previous mechanical issues were addressed and that the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable parameters for its age. At 154,570 miles, this eleven-year-old Audi has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent, heavy usage, particularly noting the 35,000 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2026. This high rate of accumulation places considerable stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. The lack of long gaps between testing intervals suggests the car is used regularly, which often helps prevent issues related to dry seals or stagnant fluids. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and wheel alignment because the history reveals a pattern of uneven tyre wear. The 2024 failure flagged an offside rear tyre heavily worn on the inner edge, while 2019 records showed similar issues on the nearside front. These symptoms often indicate underlying geometry problems or worn suspension components. Additionally, while the shock absorber leak from 2019 and 2020 was previously resolved, the 2024 failure for front brake pads being worn to the wear indicator suggests that the owner may only perform maintenance reactively when failure is imminent. A thorough check of the current brake discs and pad thickness is essential to ensure no immediate attention is required on these high-mileage components.
