2012 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RO62 FPP

The vehicle holds a current pass status as of the 6 November 2025 test, with no defects or advisories recorded at that inspection at 132,796 miles. The four-test sequence spanning June 2023 to November 2025 shows a clean, stable roadworthiness picture with no failures and no advisory items logged across the entire window. The most recent certificate remains in force through late November 2026, so the car is legally roadworthy today and the pattern, while brief, contains no recorded mechanical deterioration. Annual mileage runs at roughly 9,485 miles per year over the fourteen-year life of the car, which is a typical figure for its age. The gap between the April 2022 test and June 2023 test represents around fourteen months between examinations, and the subsequent annual cycle from 2023 onwards indicates consistent usage without long periods off the road. No unusual mileage jumps appear in the supplied data; the vehicle has simply accumulated miles at an average pace. The MOT record alone cannot confirm whether intermediate mechanical servicing has been carried out between tests, so any judgement on broader upkeep beyond what DVSA examiners recorded would go beyond the evidence provided. Because the history is free of advisories, there are no specific recurring faults to flag for re-inspection. A prospective buyer should nonetheless carry out a physical inspection focused on the usual high-wear areas of a 132,796-mile Audi A3. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension components, including control arm bushes, coil springs, and top mounts, as well as the rear axle for any signs of knocking or uneven tyre wear. The brake discs and calipers, especially the rear caliper slide mechanisms which are prone to binding on higher-mileage examples, warrant a direct check, along with a close look at the exhaust system for corrosion at the joints and mounting points. Finally, a thorough underside examination for structural corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounting areas is essential on a fourteen-year-old vehicle, as MOT testers are not required to lift the car or carry out invasive checks.
