2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · LM65 YKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While the car passed its May 2026 test at 72,078 miles, the tester flagged advisories for pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs, alongside light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This marks a departure from the three consecutive clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that wear-related components are now beginning to require attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 5,000 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. The failure in May 2024 at 64,048 miles due to perished tyres and a deep cut in the nearside rear tyre indicates that the previous owner occasionally neglected basic consumable checks until a formal failure forced action. A prospective buyer should prioritize a close inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The pitting on the discs suggests prolonged exposure to moisture or infrequent use, which can lead to reduced stopping efficiency and premature pad wear. The light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber is an early sign of a seal failure; this should be monitored for increasing leakage to avoid a more costly strut replacement later. Given the history of clean tests, no structural integrity concerns are immediately apparent from the recorded data.
