2018 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · ND18 MFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 85,320 miles passed with no recorded defects, following an unexplained failure just two weeks prior on 11 November 2025 at 85,083 miles. This isolated failure suggests a minor component or consumable item that was rectified immediately before the retest rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,665 miles annually. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the car covered only 3,907 miles, indicating a period of low use. However, usage increased significantly between July 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle clocked 21,543 miles in roughly 16 months. This shift suggests the vehicle is currently being used regularly, which is generally beneficial for the engine seals and rubber components to prevent the degradation associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion, brakerelated, or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT does not cover. A buyer should verify the condition of the arm bushes and shocks for cracking, as these often reach the end of their service life near the 85,000 mile mark. Checking brake discs for uneven wear or thinning is also advisable to ensure the clean MOT history reflects the actual mechanical state of the braking system.
