2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · RO18 AEE

The Audi A3 shows a stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 2 May 2025 at 63,399 miles with no defects recorded. Earlier tests returned passes on 31 March 2022 (35,044 miles), 25 March 2023 (44,710 miles), and 3 May 2024 (54,235 miles), all defect-free. A failure logged on 1 May 2024 at the same 54,235 miles but with no defects cited preceded that pass by two days, pointing to a procedural anomaly rather than an ongoing mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is therefore steady, with no worsening conditions across the record. Odometer readings track a consistent annual mileage slightly above the norm for a 2018 model. From 35,044 miles in March 2022 the car covered about 9,666 miles to the March 2023 test, then 9,525 miles to May 2024, and 9,164 miles to May 2025, reaching 63,399. This equates to roughly 9,000 to 9,600 miles per year, modestly higher than the 7,925 average yet indicating regular use without prolonged standing or sudden accumulation. The history contains no gaps beyond the twin May 2024 entries. Despite the unblemished MOT ledger, a buyer must inspect physical wear that statutory tests may miss. The tester never raised advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, but eight years of service can fatigue components subtly. Obtain the DVSA failure reason for 1 May 2024 to rule out omitted rectification. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody for rust during a personal viewing, and confirm service records complement the clean test pattern.
