2013 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RE13 YKB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 119,902 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a clean pass in late 2024 and late 2022, suggesting that the owner is proactively addressing mechanical requirements to prevent the accumulation of advisories. At 119,902 miles over 13 years, the Audi has averaged approximately 9,223 miles per annum, which aligns closely with national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns, such as the 9,280 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 3,200 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of seals and corrosion in braking components. While the recent records are clean of advisories, a buyer should still focus on high-wear areas common to high-mileage German hatchbacks. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for tearing or fatigue, as these often degrade after the 100,000-mile mark. The failure recorded in December 2023 was rectified immediately with a pass, but a physical check of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to ensure no new thinning or uneven wear is developing between annual tests.
