2010 Audi A3 1.2L Petrol · LR60 VRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 101,085 miles flagged worn brake discs that were pitted or scored. While the vehicle passed, this indicates a continuing progression from the minor wear noted back in 2021. The overall mechanical state appears stable in terms of compliance but suggests components are addressed only once they approach a failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in data between the June 2020 test at 84,688 miles and the May 2022 test at 101,051 miles, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in just two years. This burst of use likely contributed to the deterioration of rubber-based components, such as the perished tyre and deteriorated roll bar linkage recorded during the 2022 failure. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The 2022 failure of the nearside front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover suggests that rubber bushings are prone to per, which should be checked for cracks across the entire axle. Given the recurring mentions of thin brake pads and worn discs across 2020, 2021, and 2026, the current thickness of the friction material should be measured to ensure immediate replacement is not required shortly after purchase.
