2010 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · JC60 CON

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following the most recent test on 8 November 2025 at 83,987 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The prior day's failure on 7 November 2025 at 83,984 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged rectification rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from 2022 to 2025, every annual test passed with no advisories, showing consistent compliance. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2010 vehicle. The record shows 74,397 miles at the 8 November 2022 test, rising to 81,569 miles by 7 November 2023, then 83,161 miles on 8 November 2024, and 83,987 miles on 8 November 2025. Annual accumulation averaged under 2,500 miles in the later years, well below the roughly 5,249 miles per year lifetime average. Such low progression suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the supplied data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's sixteen-year age and likely static storage cycles. The absence of flagged brake discs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions faults in the MOT record does not exempt the vehicle from degradation invisible to annual testing. Verify the 7 November 2025 failure cause through DVSA documentation, as the missing defect entry leaves the reason unconfirmed.
