2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · HJ08 ART

The 2025‑09‑01 MOT at 85,913 miles confirms the 2015 Audi A3 remains roadworthy, with no fail or major defect recorded. The series of annual tests from 2018 onward shows a consistent pass rate, indicating that previous owners have maintained the vehicle without significant regression in mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 38,316 miles in May 2018 to 85,913 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old car. No extended periods of low mileage are evident; the increments between tests are steady, ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 miles, suggesting regular use rather than long standing periods. Recurring advisories focus on rear brake discs that are worn, pitted or scored (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) and tyres that show edge wear and occasional nail punctures (5.2.3 (e)), while the 2021 test noted an oil leak that was advised for further investigation. These patterns point to ongoing wear of consumable components rather than escalating structural failures. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake discs for scoring depth, verify tyre tread depth and look for sidewall damage or embedded objects, and examine the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or excessive play. Additionally, the oil leak source should be traced, and any signs of structural rust or exhaust corrosion should be assessed to confirm long‑term integrity.
