2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · PE65 KYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 137,044 miles saw the car pass with an advisory for rear brake discs being pitted and scored. This issue mirrors an advisory from the 2023 test at 117,923 miles, indicating that the owners only address braking components once they reach a failure point or an advisory threshold. At 137,044 miles over eleven years, this Audi has covered an average of approximately 12,500 miles per year, which sits above the national average for older vehicles. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, and another 7,800 miles in the year prior that. This high-mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has seen significant motorway or commuter use, which accelerates wear on suspension bushings, bushes, and drivetrain components compared to a low-mileage example. A buyer should closely inspect the entire braking system, as the 2023 failure for both front and rear pads being critically thin suggests service intervals were neglected. The recurring pitting on the rear discs suggests they may be prone to corrosion or are being used too aggressively due to binding calipers. Furthermore, the uneven wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2023 points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension arm components that should be verified during a physical inspection to ensure no further tyre degradation occurs.
