2010 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · V70 DAD

The 2010 Audi A3 remains roadworthy. The latest MOT on 7 November 2025 at 158 487 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding failed test on 30 October 2025 reported no faults either. The pattern of alternating pass/fail results without recorded issues suggests a stable maintenance trend; no recurring mechanical problems are evident in the official record. Mileage growth over the past years is typical for a vehicle of this age. From 31 October 2023 (140 656 miles) to 8 October 2024 (149 666 miles) the car logged 9 010 miles, then 8 821 miles between 8 October 2024 and 7 October 2025, and a modest 22 miles in the 31‑day gap before the final test. These figures average roughly 9 900 miles per year, aligning with the expected wear profile for a 16‑year‑old vehicle. A prospective buyer should still perform a visual and functional check of components that are not covered by the MOT record. Inspect the brake system for wear on discs, pads and calipers; verify the suspension for any play or corrosion on bushings and coil springs; confirm tyre tread depth and condition of wiper blades; and examine the bodywork for rust or structural damage, especially around the wheel arches and door sills. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, these routine inspections will confirm that the vehicle has been maintained consistently and that no hidden wear or corrosion has developed since the last test.
