2012 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · SN62 GNJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass in its latest test on 22 May 2025 at 101,589 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate re-tests following failures. Specifically, the car failed in both February 2024 and May 2025 before passing, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical defects once prompted by an MOT failure rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with low annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between July 2022 at 85,397 miles and April 2024 at 101,137 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles in twenty-one months. Since the last test in May 2025, the car has covered only 450 miles, meaning the current MOT is just over a year old and provides a relatively recent reflection of the state of the rubber components, fluids, and braking systems. The lack of recorded advisories on the passing certificates is unusual for a 14-year-old Audi and may mask developing wear on suspension bushes or minor surface corrosion. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity around wheel arches and sills, as these areas often degrade before reaching a failure point. Given the recurring failures followed by passes, a closer look at the brake calipers for binding and the exhaust mounting is necessary to ensure the issues that caused the previous failures were fully rectified rather than merely patched.
