2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · FT15 GME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 12 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though the recent failure just one day prior to the pass indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester flagged a structurally failed nearside front tyre at 94,221 miles, which was clearly rectified to achieve compliance. Beyond this consumable issue, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without defects for the previous three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 35,597 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The jump of 12,144 miles recorded between February 2024 and March 2025 suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which helps mitigate the degradation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry, as the March 2025 test at 82,750 miles identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear lower suspension arms. While the tester deemed this not seriously weakened at the time, corrosion on Audi components of this age tends to progress over time. A physical inspection is required to check for further pitting or thinning of the metal to ensure the rust has not advanced beyond the advisory stage since the last test.
