2011 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · OA52 JOE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 101,279 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes since 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety systems sufficiently to avoid recurring structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,750 miles per year. Between July 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 18,358 miles, which represents a standard rate of use. A notable gap exists between July 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,000 miles, yet the immediate failure and subsequent pass in July 2023 indicate that any specific issue was addressed promptly rather than allowed to long-term neglect. Despite the clean record in recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear at this age and mileage. At over 100,000 miles, rubber suspension bushes and coil springs often show signs of fatigue or cracking that MOT testers may not flag until they become hazardous. You should also check for brake caliper binding or thinning of the discs, as the record does not detail advisories for these items. Given the vehicle's age, a close inspection for corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised despite the clean MOT history.
