2003 Audi A3 1.9L Diesel · FY03 AFX

The Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 25 November 2024 at 119,858 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults in the DVLA test data, indicating the recorded roadworthiness has held without escalation. Two prior failures on 21 November 2024 and 21 July 2022 were logged at 119,856 and 119,819 miles respectively, yet both listed no defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than component failure. At roughly 23 years old the car has covered 119,858 miles, an average of about 5,211 miles per year, which is low for its age. The odometer moved only 1,066 miles between the March 2019 test at 118,792 miles and the July 2022 test at 119,848 miles. A further 10 miles were added by November 2024. Such minimal accumulation over five years suggests long periods of storage or very light local use, though the record contains a notable gap between 2019 and 2022 with no intermediate tests shown. Because the MOT history is clean of advisories, the buyer should still verify in person the condition of age-related items not always caught in a pass. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe areas for corrosion given the low use and likely damp standing. Check brake discs and calipers for seizure after limited mileage, and confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity underbody. The absent defect log does not exempt a 2003 vehicle from wear hidden by sparse testing.
