2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · TY14 CLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 75,012 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful inspection in October 2024 at 71,050 miles, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard in its most recent operational period. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 8,335 miles per year, which suggests regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the mileage increased from 63,653 to 70,571, showing a steady progression. The recent jump of nearly 4,000 miles between the October 2024 and December 2025 tests aligns with this predictable annual usage. The MOT history shows a specific period of wear regarding the braking system. During the August 2023 test at 70,571 miles, the tester flagged all four brake discs for being worn, pitted, or scored. While these were not considered serious enough to fail the vehicle, the presence of these advisories suggests that the braking components were nearing the end of their service life at that time. The subsequent clean passes in 2024 and 2025 imply that these discs were likely replaced or refurbished, as no further issues with disc surface integrity or thickness were noted. A prospective buyer should verify that the brake discs and pads were indeed replaced following the 2023 advisories. While the current record is clean, a physical inspection of the brake calipers for any signs of binding and a check of the suspension bushes would be prudent. Given the lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues throughout the recorded history, the mechanical focus should remain on the consumables that were previously identified as nearing replacement.
