2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · WD17 VEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on May 7, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car maintained a clean record for two consecutive years following a minor electrical-related failure in early February 2023. While the 2026 test introduced advisories regarding rear tyre condition, these represent standard consumable wear rather than a mechanical or structural failure, suggesting the vehicle remains in a sound condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,116 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 59,092 miles and the 2026 test at 82,046 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components in cars of this age. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear tyres specifically, as the May 2026 advisory noted both rear tyres were worn near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may require adjustment to prevent premature scrubbing. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake defects, the focus should remain on checking for fluid leaks and verifying the state of components that have accumulated over 82,000 miles.
