2010 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · WP60 FLE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the MOT history indicates a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 65,912 miles passed despite a noted coolant leak around the radiator. While the car has passed its last three tests, the presence of mechanical and wear-related faults in previous years suggests that issues are often only addressed once they reach a failure threshold or an advisory stage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,120 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the car covered only 1,435 miles, moving from 64,477 to 65,912 miles. This low annual usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, as evidenced by the 2022 advisory regarding a perishing rear outer tyre and recurring issues with the windscreen and wiper blades over several years. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the cooling system to ensure the noted radiator leak has been properly rectified. The 2022 failure for front brakes imbalanced across an axle indicates a potential issue with sticking calipers or uneven wear, which should be verified during a test drive. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, checking for dry rot in hoses, suspension bushes, and tyres is critical, as these components often fail due to oxidation rather than distance travelled.
