2010 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · PO59 TKY

This 2010 Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT in December 2025, but the report reveals a concerning downward trend in structural and mechanical condition. The primary risk is widespread corrosion. While earlier entries noted corrosion limited to the rear subframe, the latest test highlights corrosion across the chassis, suspension components, subframe, rear axle, brakes, and fuel lines. This suggests the vehicle's structural integrity is deteriorating. There is a persistent, long-term oil leak that has been noted since at least 2023. Combined with the recent failure for significantly worn front inner brake discs and recurring tyre wear issues, the vehicle shows signs of deferred maintenance. The mileage of 123,596 is typical for a 16-year-old car, suggesting regular use. However, the combination of typical mileage and accelerating corrosion indicates the car may have been exposed to harsh environments or lacked preventative underbody protection. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside. Specifically, check the extent of the chassis and subframe rust to ensure it is not structurally compromised.
