2017 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · WF17 LZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in mid-January 2026 at 114,961 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to previous years where recurring issues were common. While the latest test is clean, the historical data indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, as faults were only addressed after they triggered a failure or were flagged as persistent advisories. At 114,961 miles over nine years, this Audi A3 has covered an average of approximately 12,773 miles per year. The record shows consistent and heavy usage, particularly the 16,262 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 16,672 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This high mileage profile places considerable stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though the regular testing intervals suggest the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension, as the record highlights previous issues with thin pads in 2023 and pitted rear discs. The recurring history of tyres reaching the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not yet been replaced. Given the high mileage, a physical check for oil leaks and the condition of the underbody corrosion is essential, as the MOT history focuses primarily on safety items rather than preventative mechanical health.
