2013 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · ND13 DHC

This Audi A3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 14 May 2025 at 87,708 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from previous years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 13 year old vehicle. Between 31 May 2022 and 14 May 2025, the odometer rose from 57,701 to 87,708 miles, averaging roughly 9,900 miles per year over the last three years. This is a slight increase compared to the lifetime average of 6,747 miles per year, but it indicates the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The absence of advisories across the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 15 May 2024 at 77,757 miles, though the lack of recorded defects for that failure is atypical and may indicate a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related wear that MOT tests often overlook. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber or hairline cracks. Examine the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life despite the clean test history. Check the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points.
