2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · KM67 WMD

The 2017 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 66,705 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five consecutive annual passes free of advisories or failures. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,400 miles, typical for a nine-year-old hatchback. The records show steady accumulation: 39,084 miles in October 2021, 46,270 by October 2022, 52,508 in August 2023, 58,879 in August 2024, and 66,705 in August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing zero defects, which suggests the previous owners kept basic consumables and core systems within test limits. A clean MOT sheet does not certify component condition, only that the car met minimum standards on test day. The buyer should still inspect brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or worn brakes would not always trigger an advisory at this mileage. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant a visual check for cracking or corrosion given the vehicle's age. Underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions should be verified in person. The absence of recorded advisories means no worsening trend exists, but nine years of use will have aged rubber mounts and flexible hoses beyond what a pass result reveals. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible.
