2019 Audi A3 1.0L Petrol · FD19 OYA

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite low annual usage. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 25,752 miles passed with a single advisory for an offside rear tyre showing signs of perishing. This reflects a pattern of minor consumable degradation rather than mechanical neglect, as no major structural or mechanical failures have emerged across the last four testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,679 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2022 at 10,803 miles and December 2023 at 16,473 miles, suggesting the car may have sat stationary for extended periods. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often correlates with the aging of rubber-based parts and fluids, which is evident in the inspection history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of all tyres, as the record shows recurring perishing and cracking across 2022, 2023, and 2025. This indicates the rubber compound is degrading due to age rather than tread depth. Additionally, the nearside rear shock absorber, noted for light oil misting in March 2022, should be checked to ensure the seal has not progressed to a significant leak, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seals drying out over time.
