Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this 2013 model, focus on the mechanical aspects that are common failure points for the Audi A3 range. While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the aggregate data for this model highlights service brake issues, anti-roll bars, and brake pads as frequent failure reasons. Ensure you check the responsiveness of the braking system and listen for any knocks from the suspension during a test drive.
As this is a petrol variant, verify the service history for any evidence of timing chain maintenance, which is a known consideration for this engine size. Since the MOT history is currently clear of advisories, use the opportunity to negotiate based on the documented service intervals rather than immediate mechanical repairs.
Running costs for this 1395cc petrol engine are generally moderate. Fuel economy is typically efficient for a premium hatchback of this era, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load. The 1.4L engine often sits in a lower insurance group compared to larger displacement models, making it accessible for a range of drivers.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted around typical premium brand rates. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should anticipate routine costs for consumables like brake pads and tyres, which are common maintenance items for this model. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, sit in the mid-range for this vehicle class.
Based on the aggregate MOT data for the Audi A3, pay close attention to the braking system. Even though this vehicle has passed its last five tests without defect, the model is statistically prone to 'service brake excessively' failures. Test the pedal feel and ensure there is no pulsing under braking.
Secondly, inspect the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bars. The data indicates these are common failure points across the wider model population. Finally, check the condition of the brake pads, as this is another frequent reason for MOT failure in this model type.
This 2013 grey Audi A3 with the 1.4L petrol engine has covered 60,167 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2026. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record since 2022, with no defects or advisories noted in the last five annual tests. Given the model's average annual mileage is approximately 7,610, this specific vehicle's usage pattern appears relatively consistent with typical expectations for its age.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.1% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to brakes and suspension components.
