2017 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · NV67 WDL

The 2017 Audi A3 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 at 52,935 miles passing with zero defects. The record shows no recurring faults, no advisories, and no pattern of worsening mechanical or structural issues across five consecutive annual tests. This is a well-maintained vehicle with a consistent pass history, indicating attentive ownership and no unresolved defects. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,882 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 25,258 miles and the August 2024 test at 42,201 miles, the car covered approximately 16,943 miles in just over two years, suggesting a period of heavier use after a quieter earlier life. The jump from 42,201 miles in August 2024 to 52,935 miles by July 2025 represents another 10,734 miles in under eleven months, confirming the car is now being driven regularly. Despite this increased usage, the July 2025 test still passed cleanly, which speaks well of the vehicle's mechanical resilience. The 20 June 2023 test at 34,139 miles recorded a fail with no defects listed, which typically indicates an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the car passed the following day at 34,141 miles with no defects. This minor anomaly does not suggest any underlying reliability concern. The gap between the July 2022 and June 2023 tests is nearly eleven months, slightly shorter than a full annual cycle, but the record otherwise follows a consistent yearly pattern. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components can deteriorate on low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Check the condition of brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can develop on a car that sits unused for long stretches. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and verify that all tyres have adequate tread depth and even wear, given the recent increase in annual mileage. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a physical inspection and test drive remain essential to confirm the car's current condition.
