2017 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · KS17 NTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026 at 91,424 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive attention to consumable items rather than proactive mechanical overhaul. While the most recent test only identified a minor perished nearside rear tyre, the history reveals recurring issues with tyre wear, suggesting the owner only addresses these once they reach legal failure limits or trigger a specific warning light. At 91,424 miles over nine years, the Audi A3 has averaged approximately 10,158 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage for this class. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2022 and March 2024, during which the vehicle covered 6,634 miles. Since then, the mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This consistent usage suggests regular operation but places expected strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the record shows recurring inner edge tyre wear in 2022 and 2025. The 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads and a warning light, indicating that brake service intervals were neglected until failure. Given the 2026 advisory regarding cracking on the rear tyre, a physical inspection of the current tyre set for uneven wear and potential binding calipers is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from underlying mechanical issues between tests.
