2009 Audi A3 1.9L Diesel · NG09 HXS

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in maintenance. The most recent inspection in January 2026 at 113,586 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following two consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025. This suggests that the current ownership period has addressed previous issues and is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable five-year gap between the 2019 and 2024 MOT tests, during which the car covered only roughly 5,000 miles. Since that period, usage has increased to a more steady rate of about 5,000 miles annually. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components, the age of the means rubber-related parts may suffer during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously flagged during the 2019 failure. That test failed due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp and multiple tyres reaching legal wear limits. While these appear resolved, the buyer should verify the engine management lights function correctly upon ignition and check for uneven tyre wear which caused the previous edge wear issues. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension arches is essential, as these are common failure points not captured in this history.
