2008 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · SL58 ABK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 June 2025 at 103,451 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of consistent passes over the last three years, suggesting a vehicle that is well-maintained or has experienced minimal degradation. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old car, averaging roughly 5,747 miles per year. Between 27 June 2023 and 27 June 2024, the car covered 6,211 miles. The most recent interval saw an increase to 4,653 miles over the following year. This low usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear associated with high-mileage commutes, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes mask issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 27 June 2023 and 12 June 2025. Since no specific defects were logged for these failures, they likely relate to minor administrative errors or immediate on-site rectifications of consumable items. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always trigger MOT failures but degrade with age and low mileage. Check for perished tyres and the condition of the brake fluid and coolant. Inspect the underbody for surface rust, as the lack of recorded corrosion in the MOT history does not guarantee the absence of age-related oxidation on non-structural elements.
