2013 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · JE57 CLK

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 3 December 2025 at 112,510 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with every annual examination from December 2022 through to the latest test showing clean results. A notable anomaly appears in late November 2025 when the car failed on 28 November at 112,505 miles yet the record lists no defects; five days later it passed. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the failure rather than a mechanical fault, though the buyer should clarify the reason with the seller. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 2013 vehicle. The car covered 75,357 miles by 6 December 2022, rose to 86,317 by 1 December 2023, then 99,952 by 10 December 2024, and reached 112,510 by the December 2025 tests. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles per year across the recorded period, slightly above the implied average but unremarkable for a diesel-era hatchback. No long standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes occur in the data. The history is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged. Given the clean MOT trail, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items the tests did not flag. At 112,510 miles the original suspension components, coil springs, and binding calipers may carry unseen wear not captured by a pass result. Check underneath for corrosion around subframes and sills, and measure brake disc thickness and tyre tread directly. The November 2025 fail with zero defects warrants documentary proof from the seller to confirm no suppressed mechanical rejection.
