2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · MH17 EPX

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 24,618 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable parameters. This trend suggests the car has been well-maintained and avoids the recurring failures often seen in older vehicles of this make. The mileage data reveals a significant anomaly between the 2022 and 2023 tests. While the car averaged approximately 2,700 miles per year from 2021 to 2022, reaching 20,776 miles, the May 2023 entry erroneously records 222,565 miles. This impossible jump of over 200,000 miles in a single year contradicts the low-mileage profile established in the subsequent 2024 test at 23,182 miles and the 2025 test at 24,618 miles. This discrepancy likely represents a clerical error during the 2023 filing rather than actual vehicle usage, though a buyer should verify the service history book to ensure the odometer readings are consistent. Given the exceptionally low annual mileage, the primary concern should focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear and tear. A buyer must inspect the rubber components and suspension bushings for cracking or perishation, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles are frequently prone to brake rust and seized calipers. Checking the tyres for flat spots or sidew cracking is also vital, as tread depth may remain high despite the rubber being past its structural life.
