2013 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · FT62 XNN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent testing failures. The most recent MOT test conducted in April 2025 at 98,897 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. While the history shows previous failures in 2023 and 2024, the owner has successfully addressed the underlying issues to achieve consecutive clean passes thereafter. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression of use, with an increase of 12,752 miles recorded between the May 2023 and May 2024 tests, followed by a 9,181-mile interval between May 2024 and April 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and brake seals. Despite the current clean record, the recurring failures at 76,596 and 89,716 miles suggest that the vehicle has required reactive maintenance at specific intervals. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically the control arm bushes and drops, as these often trigger failures on Audi models of this age. Given the mileage is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, checking for oil leaks and the condition of the exhaust pipe corrosion is essential to ensure the recent clean passes are not masking deeper mechanical wear.
