2009 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · TY06 ASH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 15 September 2025 at 106,632 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes following initial failures in the previous years. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes indicate that the owner is proactive in addressing and rectifying defects identified by the tester before the next annual deadline. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 106,632 represents an annual average of approximately 6,272 miles, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 11,315 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,910 miles between September 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not subjected to long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, although the provided record does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of the Audi, a thorough check of the structural integrity, particularly the chassis and mounting points, is essential to ensure corrosion has not progressed. The inspector should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these are common points of failure on this model at this mileage. Checking the condition of the brake discs and any binding calipers is also necessary to determine if the recent failures were related to consumable wear or more significant mechanical issues.
