2011 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · PF11 BVB

The vehicle's most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 75,692 miles passed, but the previous test in October 2025 at 75,642 miles failed due to excessive exhaust carbon monoxide emissions. This suggests a recent issue with the exhaust system that was resolved before the final test. The suspension components, including bushes and ball joints, show consistent wear but no excessive movement, while corrosion on the sub-frame and rear suspension arms is present but not seriously weakened. The tyres are worn close to the legal limit, indicating basic upkeep was skipped. The maintenance trend is stable, with recurring advisories for wear and corrosion, but the exhaust failure suggests a recent issue that was addressed. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually low for its age, averaging just over 5,000 miles per year. The most recent test in October 2025 covers just 50 miles, while the test in October 2024 at 72,420 miles covers 3,166 miles, and the test in October 2023 at 69,254 miles covers 3,166 miles. This suggests periods of low or no use, which could have contributed to the low overall mileage. The sparse test data also indicates infrequent or irregular maintenance. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system for any signs of recent repairs or leaks, as the carbon monoxide failure suggests a potential issue. The suspension bushes and ball joints show consistent wear, which is expected but should be monitored for further deterioration. The corroded sub-frame and rear suspension arms are not seriously weakened but require attention to prevent further degradation. The tyres are worn close to the legal limit, so replacement is recommended before further use. The vehicle's low mileage and sparse maintenance history suggest it may require more frequent or thorough upkeep than typical.
