2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · SA17 GOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 14 January 2026 at 54,406 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure on that same day due to an insecure offside front brake backing plate. This specific defect was rectified immediately to allow a pass with no further defects. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, suggesting a consistent level of mechanical oversight. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. The data shows steady intervals between tests, with an 8,937-mile gap between January 2023 and January 2024, followed by a 7,901-mile increase between 2024 and 2025. This low annual mileage generally indicates less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to component degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyres in person, as the January 2025 test at 46,156 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres for being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre wear. Given the recent brake backing plate failure, a physical check to ensure the brake assembly is properly secured and free of excessive corrosion is also advisable. No structural rust or recurring mechanical failures have been flagged by the tester in the recorded history.
