2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · RF17 VRP

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition having passed its most recent MOT test on 27 May 2026 at 73,950 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though it reveals a recurring pattern of reactive consumable maintenance. While the car passes without mechanical failures, the presence of a deteriorated front registration plate and a worn offside rear tyre in the latest test indicates that the owner defers minor repairs until they reach legal limit thresholds. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation from 49,368 miles in May 2022 to 73,950 miles in May 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to seal degradation and brake corrosion in Audis. The intervals between tests are consistent, occurring almost annually, which provides a reliable chronological baseline for tracking the vehicle's mechanical health. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension given the history of uneven wear. The 2024 test at 62,914 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the limit, while the 2026 test identified edge wear on the offside rear. This recurring pattern suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. You should inspect the inner edges of the tyres for irregular wear and verify the condition of the control arm bushings and dampers to ensure the geometry is not causing premature tyre failure.
