2015 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · GD65 PFK

The Audi A3 holds a current roadworthy status, having passed its MOT on 5 March 2026 at 122,821 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable; after a cluster of failures in 2022 the vehicle recorded defect‑free tests from March 2023 through March 2025. The most recent activity shows a rapid correction of front‑tyre issues on the same day in March 2026, indicating the problems were addressed but recur at high mileage. Mileage accumulation follows a predictable pattern, averaging roughly 11,166 miles per year over the 11‑year life span. MOT tests are clustered around March each year, with the 2020 and 2021 entries shifted to January and March respectively, but the annual mileage jumps remain consistent at 4.5–5.0 k miles. The record is otherwise clean, with no extended gaps between inspections. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres for tread depth, ply exposure and any cuts, as these components failed twice within the last four years. The rear tyre should be examined for structural damage, and the rear direction indicator checked for correct colour. Brake pads require scrutiny; the March 2021 test flagged thin pads, so wear should be measured. Headlamp aim and bulb fitting must be verified, given the 2022 failure. Finally, a visual check for corrosion on the rear suspension mountings and chassis is advisable, as the 2022 rear‑tyre cut suggests possible exposure to road salts.
