2009 Audi A3 E Sport TDI 1.9L Diesel · VN09 FWP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 137,157 miles which returned no recorded defects. While a single failure occurred in May 2025, the issue was clearly rectified quickly resulting in a clean pass just one month later. This trend suggests the current owner is responsive to testing requirements and performs necessary maintenance rather than allowing minor faults to escalate into significant mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with a gap of 8,244 miles recorded between April 2023 and May 2024, and another 6,166 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This regularity indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to perished seals and seized brake components, though the high total mileage suggests standard wear and tear on the TDI drivetrain and suspension components. Given the clean records across the last three tests, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for this generation of Audi A3 that may not yet have triggered an MOT failure. Prioritize checking the rear subframe and mounting points for structural corrosion, as these are prone to rust on vehicles of this age. You should also inspect the front suspension control arm bushes and coil springs for cracking, and check the brake discs for thinness or uneven wear, as the mileage places these consumables near the end of their typical service life.
