2012 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · RV62 ACY

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 14 February 2025 at 129,202 miles showing no recorded defects. While the vehicle failed its initial presentation on 13 February 2025 and again on 31 January 2024, the lack of specific defect descriptions in the DVSA record suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. The absence of recurring mechanical advisories over the past three years indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary repairs promptly to ensure compliance. The recorded mileage of 129,202 miles over a fourteen-year period averages approximately 9,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual progression, with an increase of roughly 14,700 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, followed by a slightly lower usage of 12,475 miles in the most recent twelve-month cycle. This steady accumulation suggests the car has seen regular road use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the seizure of mechanical components and the degradation of seals and gaskets. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the exhaust system. Since the MOT history is devoid of technical advisories, it does not confirm the current state of consumables like brake discs, pads, or tyres, which may be nearing their service limits despite the clean test record. A thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and an assessment of the clutch and flywheel operation remain essential, as these items are not covered by the standard MOT test and are common areas of concern for an Audi A3 with this level of mileage.
