2010 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · FT10 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test on 20 August 2024 at 141,359 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just five days prior at 141,352 miles. This immediate rectification suggests a minor or consumable issue that was addressed quickly before the re-test, rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure or structural neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old Audi A3, averaging approximately 8,835 miles per year. Between October 2020 and October 2022, the car covered 7,830 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The interval between October 2022 and August 2024 saw a slightly higher accumulation of 5,617 miles. This relatively regular usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally helps protect seals and rubber components from dry-related degradation. While the history shows no recurring structural advisories or mechanical failures, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Audi wear points for this age and mileage. Given the 141,359-mile mark, examine the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or fatigue. Check the brake discs for excessive ridge wear or binding calipers, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than overall condition. The lack of recorded advisories in the recent history suggests the previous owners have been proactive with preventative maintenance.
