2017 Audi A3 2.5L Petrol · T8 KEN

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 28,239 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a shift toward consumable wear-related issues. While the car has passed without mechanical or structural failures, the transition from a clean sheet in 2021 to recent advisories regarding tyre condition suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 3,138 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 13,136 miles and October 2024 at 25,889 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,753 miles. This low usage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber seals and brake components. The presence of engine covers and under trays in 2022 and 2023 occasionally obstructed the tester's view, meaning a buyer must verify that no hidden leaks or corrosion remained undetected. A physical inspection should focus on the front-end geometry, as the 2025 advisory for a nearside front tyre worn on the edge and the 2024 report of a cut tyre suggest potential alignment issues or uneven wear. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for pitting or rust, as rarely-used vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion and seized calipers. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking, as the age of the vehicle can cause rubber to perish regardless of the low mileage recorded.
