2012 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RO62 ABK

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 174,173 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is high for a 2012 model, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, with the odometer moving from 144,259 miles in September 2022 to 174,173 miles by November 2025. A brief anomaly occurred on 5 October 2023, where the car failed and passed within a single mile at 155,789 and 155,790 miles respectively. This likely indicates a minor administrative error or a trivial fix performed on-site. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a targeted physical inspection of drivetrain and chassis components. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear in the records is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should verify if these parts have been replaced recently or if the tester has been lenient. Priority should be given to checking for underside corrosion and the condition of the timing belt and water pump. These are critical service items for this engine that the MOT test does not comprehensively evaluate. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay and assessing the wear on the clutch will provide a more complete picture of the vehicle's mechanical health beyond the basic legal requirements.
