2010 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · FG60 VWS

The Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 3 April 2024 at 170,766 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the last two years. The test history shows repeated pass and fail entries on the same dates in 2023 and 2024 with no defects logged, which points to administrative rejections or documentation issues rather than mechanical failure. No advisories or roadworthiness faults appear in the official record. The vehicle has covered 170,766 miles over roughly sixteen years, averaging about 10,673 miles per year, which is typical for a 2010 hatchback. Mileage moved from 157,042 on 12 April 2023 to 157,045 on 18 April 2023, then to 170,766 by 3 April 2024, showing a modest 13,721-mile gain in that final year. The record is sparse and clean, with no intermediate tests or consumable wear flags such as tyre tread, brake discs, or suspension bushes noted. Because the MOT data shows no recorded defects, a buyer should still verify in person the components the test did not flag. At this mileage, front suspension arms, anti-roll bar bushes, and coil springs warrant a visual check for cracks or corrosion. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear that a no-defect test might miss. Structural integrity under arches and sills should be examined for rust given the car's age and British winter road salt exposure. The same-day fail and pass pattern in 2023 and 2024 suggests previous owners cleared paperwork promptly but offers no evidence of skipped mechanical upkeep. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible before commitment.
