2018 Audi A3 SE Technik TDI 1.6L Diesel · JE14 AMY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 27 May 2025 at 78,393 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in test failures or recorded warnings on the official record. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 41,630 miles and May 2025 at 78,393 miles, the car covered 36,763 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The jump of 13,256 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle remains in regular use, which helps to prevent the degradation of seals and brake components often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the digital record shows no flagged advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear at the 80,000-mile threshold. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often begin to show signs of fatigue at this mileage regardless of a clean MOT. Checking the thickness of the brake pads and looking for any scoring on the discs is also prudent given the consistent annual mileage. The lack of recorded structural corrosion in the history suggests the chassis integrity remains sound, but a visual check of the sills for surface rust remains standard professional practice for a vehicle of this age.
