2015 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · SR64 BVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the recent test in February 2026 at 110,638 miles passed, the tester flagged both front shock absorbers for reduced damping and identified an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This represents a departure from the clean record seen in 2025, indicating that suspension components and consumable tyres are now reaching the end of their operational life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old German vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 22,607 miles, showing a steady usage profile without significant gaps in inactivity. The most recent interval saw 11,378 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front suspension system, as the weakened damping on both shock absorbers will compromise handling and lead to uneven tyre wear. The history also notes a persistent front oil leak appearing in 2023 and 2024. While described as not excessive at the time, a physical inspection is required to ensure the leak has not worsened over the last mileage interval. Additionally, the slight exhaust corrosion noted in 2023 should be checked for structural integrity to ensure the rust has not progressed toward a failure point.
