2020 Audi A3 1.0L Petrol · KT69 VUX

The vehicle maintains a consistent record of passing its annual inspections, though the most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 82,221 miles introduced an advisory for a slightly noisy offside front wheel bearing. This departure from the clean passes recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggests the onset of mechanical wear consistent with the vehicle's age and usage. While the car has not failed an MOT to date, the emergence of a component-specific advisory indicates that the mechanical status is beginning to show signs of degradation rather than remaining static. The recorded mileage of 82,221 miles over a six-year period equates to approximately 13,704 miles per annum, which sits above the typical average for a passenger vehicle of this class. The MOT history shows a steady accumulation of mileage across four consecutive annual tests, confirming consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This high-frequency usage pattern places increased demand on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which are now approaching the mileage intervals where replacement is often required. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside front wheel bearing to determine if the noise has progressed into play or audible grinding. Given the high mileage, the suspension geometry and coil springs warrant a thorough check for signs of fatigue or premature wear. Inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning, as the vehicle's history does not provide visibility into interim maintenance or consumable replacements performed outside of the annual test cycle.
