2009 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · FV58 PXR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on August 22 2025 with 147,130 miles. While the record shows instances of failure on the same dates as successful tests, the immediate rectification suggests the owner addresses necessary repairs to maintain compliance. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has secured three consecutive passes over the last two years without any recorded advisories or recurring mechanical defects appearing in the testing history. At 17 years old, the recorded 147,130 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 8,655 miles. This usage pattern aligns closely with typical UK mileage for a hatchback of this age, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme motorway mileage. The interval between the September 2023 test at 135,877 miles and the August 2025 test at 147,130 miles shows an accumulation of roughly 11,200 miles, indicating consistent and regular use which often helps keep seals lubricated and prevents the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that triggered the failures in 2023 and 2025, although the specific defects were not detailed in the provided summary. Given the age and mileage of this Audi A3, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches for corrosion is essential. The inspector should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for wear of wear, as these components are the primary points of failure on vehicles approaching the 150,000-mile mark.
