2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · T6 HDA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 at 120,185 miles. While it failed a test just one day prior due to a loose nearside headlamp bulb, this was a minor adjustment that did not indicate a systemic mechanical failure. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no recurring structural defects or serious mechanical failures recorded over the last four years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old German hatchback, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 79,017 miles and the September 2025 test at 120,185 miles, the car covered roughly 41,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent internal seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with brake pads. The offside rear pads failed in 2022 and the offside front pads were flagged in 2024 at 106,405 miles. While these are consumable wear items, the frequency suggests the buyer should verify the remaining thickness of the current pads and check for uneven wear or sticking calipers. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as these components typically reach the end of their functional service life around this interval.
