2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · FJ67 YPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably clean mechanical history. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 21,701 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a nearside rear tyre. The tester identified a cut reaching the cords, which was clearly rectified to secure the certificate. Beyond this single consumable issue, the record shows no recurring mechanical or structural defects across the last four years of testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,411 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-level usage, moving from 14,205 miles in September 2022 to 21,701 miles by September 2025. This trajectory suggests the car has been used for short trips or stored for long periods, which minimizes wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. The lack of significant mileage spikes indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to the stresses of constant long-distance motorway operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on issues associated with low-mileage vehicles, specifically the potential degradation of rubber components and fluid systems. While the MOT record shows no issues with suspension bushes or brake corrosion, long periods of standing can cause tyres to perish or brake calipers to begin to seize. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or heavy rust, as low use often fails to clear debris from the rotors effectively. Given the age relative to the mileage, verifying the service history for annual oil changes is vital to ensure the internal engine remains well-maintained despite the lack of mechanical wear.
