Our Verdict
A viable option for those seeking a dies
Prioritise an investigation into the oil leak mentioned in the MOT records from 2022, 2023, and 2024; while described as 'not excessive', its persistence over three years warrants a professional mechanical check to identify the source. You should also verify if the rear brake discs have been replaced, as they were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in three consecutive tests (2023-2025).
The 1598cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, which helps offset the higher mileage. However, the aggregate data for this model indicates that brake components are a frequent point of failure, meaning you should budget for periodic brake system refreshes.
Typical costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2015 emissions bracket, and insurance. Given the age and mileage, annual maintenance costs are likely to be higher than a newer example.
Specifically inspect the underbody and engine bay for signs of the oil leak noted in the 2022-2024 MOTs. Examine the rear brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 records to determine if they now require immediate replacement.
Additionally, check the anti-roll bar and brake pads, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider A3 population. Check the current condition of all four tyres, as front tyre wear was a recurring advisory between 2022 and 2024.
This white 2015 Audi A3 diesel has passed all five recorded MOT tests. However, the history reveals recurring advisories for an oil leak and worn rear brake discs spanning several years. With 108,572 miles recorded in December 2025, the vehicle has been used more extensively than the model average.
The Audi A3 has an average MOT pass rate of 82.1%, with common failure points being the service brakes, anti-roll bars, and brake pads.
