2012 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · WR12 ACX

The 2012 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 129,229 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from October 2022 to October 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 19 October 2023 at 110,870 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at 110,883 miles and no defects listed on either entry. This suggests a minor administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage shows typical use for a fourteen-year-old car. The vehicle covered roughly 9,200 miles per year, rising from 101,626 miles in October 2022 to 119,825 miles in October 2024 and 129,229 miles by November 2025. The gap between the October 2023 fail and pass adds only 13 miles, confirming the retest was immediate. No rapid accumulation or unexplained standing periods appear in the data, and the clean advisory history across all passes indicates previous owners kept consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The clean record means no recurring corrosion, exhaust emission, or binding brake trends exist in the official data. Verify the 19 October 2023 fail reason with DVSA paperwork, though the same-day pass with zero defects implies no lasting concern.
