2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · PY67 LFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test on August 5 2025 at 103,764 miles showed the car passing after an initial failure for headlamp aim, windscreen issues, and worn front tyres. While the vehicle is currently legal, the recurring failures across the last two years suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they become necessary to pass an MOT test. At 103,764 miles over nine years, the Audi has averaged approximately 11,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a petrol motor car. There was a significant jump in usage of nearly 19,000 miles between August 2023 (74,127 miles) and August 2024 (92,662 miles). This period of higher mileage likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed in the 2024 test, specifically regarding the degradation of suspension components and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system due to documented issues. The August 2024 failure flagged a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and excessively fluctuating front service brakes, which often indicate warped brake discs or sticking calipers. Furthermore, the consistent reports of tyres being worn on the edges across both 2024 and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
