2012 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · OV62 HZX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 January 2026 at 136,578 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or safety issues have been addressed. This follows a period of clean passes in 2025 and 2023, suggesting that the car has been maintained to a functional standard in its later years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 15,229 miles between January 2023 and January 2025, followed by a more rapid increase of 7,261 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This pattern suggests fluctuating usage levels rather than consistent neglect. The single failure recorded on 23 January 2024 at 114,312 miles was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed again exactly one day later. While the record is currently clean, a buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components prone to wear at this mileage bracket. Given the 136,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify perished rubber or leaks. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or signs of binding calipers, as the MOT record does not detail advisories for these items. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for mounting rust remains vital to ensure no hidden corrosion has begun to develop since the latest test.
