2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · FV04 FVO

The 2017 Audi A3 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-11 at 57,398 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-09-30 (48,701 miles) and 2023-09-29 (41,554 miles) also passed without issues, though an apparent duplicate entry for the same date and mileage shows a failed result with no recorded defects. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the valid tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. No advisories or critical failures are documented in the valid records, indicating no immediate safety concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,398 miles at 9 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 6,378 miles, which is typical for its age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2022-10-01 (34,887 miles) and 2023-09-29 (41,554 miles), a period of 11 months and 6,667 miles. No rapid mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods are evident, reducing risks of component degradation from stagnation or excessive wear. The lack of recurring issues in the records implies no systemic mechanical failures, though the 2023 failed test remains unexplained. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly underbody corrosion, and inspect the suspension components for wear, as these are common areas for aging vehicles. The absence of brake-related advisories is reassuring, but a test drive should confirm smooth braking and no unusual noises. The 2023 failed MOT, though unexplained, warrants further inquiry to ensure no unresolved issues were overlooked. Overall, the MOT history suggests competent maintenance, but physical inspection of key systems is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
