2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · LP18 AAO

The 2018 Audi A3 demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 16,018 miles confirmed compliance, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the eight-year span, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained under low-mileage conditions. Mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with 6,183 miles in 2021, rising to 7,785 in 2022, 10,286 in 2023, 13,623 in 2024, and 16,018 in 2025. This equates to approximately 2,002 miles annually, reflecting minimal usage. The absence of rapid mileage spikes or extended gaps between tests implies regular, controlled operation. However, the low total mileage for an eight-year-old vehicle may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers if not periodically exercised. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly in bushes and shock absorbers, as low mileage can mask age-related degradation. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, while the exhaust system’s integrity is critical given the vehicle’s age. No advisories in the MOT history suggest no immediate risks, but the lack of high-mileage stress tests means hidden issues in less-frequently-used components may require closer scrutiny.
