2009 Audi A3 1.8L Petrol · WF09 HBC

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 10 June 2025 at 119,363 miles with no defects recorded. This result indicates a period of consistent maintenance following a period of mechanical instability in mid-2024. While the car suffered two consecutive failures in June 2024, the subsequent pass without advisories suggests that the owner was proactive in addressing the necessary repairs to meet legal safety standards. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 119,363 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,000 miles. This figure is consistent with typical light usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression in mileage, with 5,816 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 5,658 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer should focus their inspection on components that triggered the failures in 2024, as the specific nature of those faults is not detailed in the summary record. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is essential, as these often perish on older Audis models. The buyer should also inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe mounting points, ensuring that the clean recent MOT results do not mask emerging rust on the chassis. Testing the brakes for binding calipers or uneven pad wear will also confirm if the 2024 mechanical issues were fully resolved.
