2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · RO68 ACU

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 75,787 miles indicates a shift toward minor consumable wear. While the car passed, the tester flagged a cut in the nearside front tyre sidewall and noted slight damage to the outer rims of all four alloy wheels. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 69,623 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained in the short term, despite the recent minor cosmetic and tyre issues. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 75,787 miles, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 35,707 miles in October 2021 to 75,787 miles in October 2025. This pattern suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway mileage, which helps mitigate the risk of unexpected component degradation from sitting idle. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The October 2023 test at 54,043 miles highlighted thinning rear brake pads and worn rear brake discs. Although the 2024 test showed no defects, these components are wear items that may require replacement soon depending on the interval since their last service. The history also shows a significant failure in October 2021 involving multiple tyres with exposed cords and structural tears, indicating that previous owners occasionally neglected basic tyre upkeep. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the recent advisory regarding alloy wheel damage suggests the vehicle may have encountered kerbing or rough road surfaces. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures have appeared in the recent records, the recurring mentions of tyre issues and brake wear mean a thorough check of the remaining tread depth and brake pad thickness is necessary. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs would also be prudent to ensure the driving dynamics remain consistent with the reported mileage.
