2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · PY18 MLJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 52,279 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, despite a momentary failure just three days prior to that pass. The failure on 7 November 2025 identified a nearside front wheel bearing with excessive play. The fact that this was rectified immediately to pass the re-test indicates the owner is responsive to urgent safety-critical mechanical defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 6,502 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 2,167 miles annually. This low-intensity usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short commutes or remained stationary for periods, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should verify the repair of the nearside front wheel bearing to ensure the component was fitted correctly and that no secondary damage exists to the steering geometry. While the low mileage reduces the risk of significant structural fatigue, the inspector should still check the rubber components and suspension boots for cracking, as low-use vehicles can suffer from age-related degradation. The lack of advisories in the 2022 through 2024 tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained in good condition regarding brake corrosion and tyre wear.
