2018 Audi A3 2.5L Petrol · SB18 ACV

The 2018 Audi A3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-05-30 MOT at 42,502 miles. The vehicle has passed all tests since 2022, including a 2024-05-16 inspection at 38,432 miles, though a duplicate failed entry on the same date appears inconsistent. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged in the valid records, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or critical failures suggests the car has been well-kept, though the low mileage of 5,313 miles annually for its age raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 28,746 miles in 2022, rising to 34,312 by 2023, 38,432 by 2024, and 42,502 in 2025. This equates to an average of 5,566 miles between 2022 and 2023, then 4,120 and 4,070 miles in subsequent years. The gradual increase aligns with typical ownership cycles, though the low annual average may indicate periods of inactivity. No significant gaps or rapid wear events are evident, and the lack of recurring faults in the MOT history suggests no systemic mechanical degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can sometimes mask wear from prolonged storage. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles with infrequent use. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the absence of detailed fault logs means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of critical systems and identify any hidden damage not captured in the test data.
