2010 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · KN60 VFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 89,905 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous period of recurring suspension-related failures. While the earlier tests identified multiple defects, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. At 89,905 miles, this 16-year-old Audi reflects significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 5,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 5,000 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This low mileage often implies less wear on drivetrain components, though the degradation of rubber parts as seen in the history is a common consequence of age and vehicles that may sit stationary for longer periods rather than high-frequency use. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension. The record shows a persistent history of dust cover failures on anti-roll bar ball joints and suspension arm ball joints between 2023 and 2024. Although these were cleared for the latest test, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the rubber components are prone to perishing. The buyer should check for any new cracking or play in these moving parts. Additionally, the nearside front CV boot, which failed in 2022 should be inspected for signs of grease leakage or tearing to prevent premature drive shaft failure.
