2006 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · GF06 AEE

The February 2025 MOT failed, marking a worsening maintenance trend despite a series of earlier passes; the vehicle is therefore not presently roadworthy due to tyre edge wear and insufficient washer fluid. From the 2016 test at 88,112 miles to the 2025 test at 138,239 miles, the mileage rose by roughly 5,500 miles per year, showing steady accumulation with no major gaps in the annual testing record. A buyer should inspect the rear tyres for edge wear and tread depth, confirm washer fluid levels, examine rear brake pads for thinness and rear discs for pitting, assess CV joint gaiters for deterioration, check for oil leaks, and evaluate suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers and structural rust for binding or corrosion, as well as the exhaust for leaks. The recurring tyre edge wear, washer fluid deficiency, and intermittent brake and suspension faults indicate that, while the car has passed most tests, ongoing neglect of consumables and possible underlying wear may affect long‑term reliability; a thorough in‑person inspection is essential.
