2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · LS65 NYD

The 2015 Audi A3 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 162,330 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 July 2022 at 132,873 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed three days later on 26 July 2022 at the same mileage, implying the failure was administrative or a minor rectifiable item cleared without a fault log. Mileage sits high for an eleven-year-old car at 162,330 miles, averaging roughly 14,757 miles per year. The records show consistent annual accumulation: 132,873 miles in July 2022, 142,416 in August 2023, 153,516 in August 2024, and 162,330 in August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean pass history across four years suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse defect data limits insight into wear on consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage. High annual use accelerates wear on these components even when MOT tests log no advisories. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural concerns, but at this age and distance, subframe and sill integrity warrant a ramp check. The unexplained July 2022 failure merits a glance at the physical test certificate if available. Otherwise, the Audi shows a clean, uneventful record that reflects steady use rather than neglect.
