2010 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · EO10 AEU

The 2010 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 106,002 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 25 June 2024 at 101,946 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a sixteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,625 miles per year. The record moves from 94,089 miles in May 2022 to 97,772 miles in June 2023, then 101,946 miles by June 2024, reaching 106,002 miles in June 2025. A single anomaly appears on 24 June 2024 when the car failed at 101,945 miles with no defects listed, before passing the next day at 101,946 miles; this suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The history is otherwise sparse and clean. Given the absence of any advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring mechanical risks. The prior owner clearly kept the vehicle to a pass-standard regime with no flagged wear on consumables or drivetrain components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe for hidden rust, and verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and brake calipers that a clean MOT will not expose. The unexplained failure on 24 June 2024 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code to rule out a clerical error before purchase.
