2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · MM18 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 26,551 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, marking a shift from issues noted in earlier years. This progression suggests that the current owner has addressed previous wear items and maintained the vehicle in a clean state regarding its primary safety components. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between August 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 13,629 miles, indicating consistent short-distance use or extended storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the infrequent use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber materials. The data remains consistent across the years without any sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest heavy commercial use. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres and rubber bushings. The records from 2021 and 2022 flagged recurring cracking and perishing across multiple tyres due to age rather than tread. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, the sidewalls should be checked for dry rot or flat spots common in vehicles that sit for long periods. Additionally, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer from oxidation if the rotors are not used frequently enough to clear the surface.
