2007 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · JO53 ANY

The 2026‑02‑19 MOT at 51,711 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 5,000 miles per year since 2023, moving from 37,385 miles in March 2023 to 51,711 miles in February 2026, a steady increase that contradicts the notion of long idle periods despite its 19‑year age. A duplicate test on 2024‑02‑08 recorded both a pass and a fail at 41,157 miles, suggesting a minor issue was corrected before the subsequent pass. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and inspect the chassis rails and wheel arches for structural rust. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and emission compliance. Given the low mileage for its age, the buyer should also check tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, but the absence of recurring defects in the MOT history suggests the previous owners maintained the car adequately, making it a viable purchase pending a thorough physical inspection.
