Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to the very high mi
Given the mileage of 144,439, the primary focus should be on the service history. Verify when the cambelt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Use the recurring tyre advisories as a negotiation point, as the most recent test indicates lumpy and stepped rear tyres that likely require replacement.
Check for evidence of recent suspension work. The repeated mentions of tyres being 'worn on edge' or 'lumpy' across multiple years (2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026) may indicate an ongoing wheel alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been fully rectified.
The 1395cc petrol engine typically offers a balance of efficiency and performance, though fuel costs will be a primary consideration for a high-mileage driver. Insurance groups for the A3 are generally moderate, and the road tax for a 2015 petrol model is usually competitive.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this age of vehicle due to the 144,439 miles on the clock. Expect increased expenditure on wear-and-tear items such as brakes, suspension bushings, and tyres, especially given the patterns seen in the MOT history.
Closely inspect the tyres and the windscreen. The June 2026 MOT specifically notes lumpy and stepped inner edges on both rear tyres and multiple chips in the windscreen; these should be addressed. Check the tyre tread across the width of the tyre to see if the 'worn on edge' pattern persists, which often points to alignment problems.
Referencing model aggregate data, pay particular attention to the braking system and the anti-roll bar, as these are the most common failure points for this model. Check for any knocks or clunks from the suspension during a test drive, which could correlate with the tyre wear patterns recorded in the MOT history.
This 2015 black Audi A3 petrol has covered 144,439 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests, although these records consistently highlight issues with tyre wear and windscreen damage. It represents a high-use example of the 1.4L variant.
The Audi A3 has an average MOT pass rate of 82.1%, with the most frequent failures involving brake pads, service brakes, and anti-roll bars.
