2017 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RF17 WVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 6 2026 with 105,671 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed identified issues between tests. While previous records showed minor wear and tear, the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the mechanical and structural integrity currently meets the minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between October 2022 at 60,195 miles and December 2024 at 91,500 miles, covering over 31,000 miles in just twenty-six months. This period of high mileage continued with 14,000 miles recorded between the late 2024 and early 2026 tests, which naturally accelerates the wear on consumable components and suspension bushings. A prospective buyer should pay attention to the front-end geometry based on the recorded history. The January 2024 test flagged a distorted nearside front road wheel, and the December 2024 test noted an offside front tyre worn on the edge. These faults often indicate an ongoing alignment issue or worn suspension components like control arms. A physical inspection is required to ensure that the wheel distortion has not caused uneven tyre wear across the axle or that the steering rack is not experiencing premature strain.
