2009 Audi S3 2.0L Petrol · N88 OAB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 111,154 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without immediate mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,538 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the testing record between July 2019 and April 2024. During this period, the vehicle covered 6,355 miles, increasing from 99,419 to 105,774 miles. This low usage over five years indicates the car may have spent extended periods stationary, which can often lead to perished rubber components or seized calipers. The absence of recorded defects over the last several tests is unusual for a 17 year old Audi S3. While the record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the lack of advisories for consumables like brake discs or tyre tread suggests a very light usage pattern or a meticulous maintenance regime. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade during periods of inactivity. Check for flat spots on tyres, signs of brake disc corrosion, and the condition of the battery. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for underbody rust and the integrity of the suspension mounts is recommended, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in the sparse testing history.
