2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · SW65 RYA

The vehicle currently maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 57,957 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previously identified minor issues have been addressed. This follows a clean result in 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained during its recent operation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,269 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 10,506 miles recorded between October 2024 (47,951 miles) and September 2025 (57,957 miles). While the low usage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the advisories seen in 2024. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system and aged rubber-based parts. The 2022 test at 24,376 miles flagged corrosion on the ferrules of all four brake hoses, and while these did not cause a failure, the buyer should check for any bulging or fluid leaks in the lines. Additionally, the 2024 advisories regarding perishing and uneven tyre wear on the rear axle suggest the rubber may be aging out regardless of tread depth. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and ensure the suspension bushes have not perished from long periods of stationary use.
