2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · FN67 UCT

The 2017 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 66,675 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior three years the car passed cleanly, showing no advisories or worsening conditions in the official record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,400 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows steady accumulation: 39,066 miles in July 2022, 47,327 in July 2023, 57,295 in July 2024, and 66,675 by July 2025. No abrupt jumps or standing gaps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every pass carrying no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories means worn coil springs, binding calipers, or early subframe corrosion were not flagged, but testers only record visible defects at the time. Given the car's age, check brake disc thickness, suspension arm bushes, and underbody structural integrity for hidden rust. The same-day fail and pass in July 2025 suggest the seller rectified a paperwork issue quickly rather than a breakdown. Previous owners kept the service intervals light and the test history unblemished, implying reasonable basic upkeep if not exhaustive. Verify the mileage with service stamps before purchase.
