2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · LW14 DUN

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-09-18 MOT at 45,424 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-09-17 (41,625 miles), 2023-09-11 (37,023 miles), and 2022-09-15 (32,321 miles) also passed without issues. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests consistent maintenance, though the single 2023-09-11 failure entry at the same mileage as a pass is ambiguous and may reflect administrative error. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,424 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,047 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. A notable 4,600-mile gap between the 2022-09-15 test (32,321 miles) and 2023-09-11 test (37,023 miles) suggests potential storage or limited use, though no corrosion or structural issues were recorded. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for dryness or wear, particularly in bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low usage can lead to seized mechanisms. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the record, but the lack of corrosion advisories is reassuring. The 2023-09-11 failure entry, though unexplained, warrants verification to ensure no underlying issues were overlooked.
