2018 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · FL18 HSX

The 2018 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 82,531 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,300 miles, typical for an eight-year-old hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 39,669 miles in January 2022, 44,799 by July 2022, then 57,438 (July 2023), 68,989 (July 2024), and 82,531 (July 2025). No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every test listing zero advisories across suspension, brakes, exhaust, and structure. A clean sheet across five tests suggests the previous keeper kept on top of consumables before each expiry. That said, a fault-free record is not proof of condition. Buyers should still inspect brake disc thickness and caliper operation, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related fatigue, and examine subframes for corrosion given the car is now past eight years old. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm the 2025 pass reflects genuine upkeep rather than a lenient bay. With no advisories ever raised, the A3's history implies disciplined ownership, but an independent inspection remains sensible before purchase.
