2013 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · WR13 AEG

The 2013 Audi A3 passed its most recent MOT on 30 December 2021 at 90,960 miles, confirming roadworthiness after the serious faults recorded just six days earlier on 24 December 2021. The recent pass shows that the suspension and brake deficiencies noted in the earlier failure were remedied, indicating a corrective response rather than a stable or worsening trend. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s 13‑year life totals 90,960 miles, averaging just under 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage. The progression from 42,363 miles in the April 2016 test to 83,553 miles in the June 2020 test demonstrates steady growth without prolonged idle periods, and the 81‑mile difference between the 24 and 30 December 2021 tests confirms continuous operation. A buyer should therefore inspect the offside front suspension components – the ball joint, shock absorbers and associated bushes – as well as the near‑side front brake pads that were recorded as worn thin in both 2021 tests, while also examining tyre condition for the previously noted tear, checking brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and looking for any structural rust or fluid leaks that could signal underlying mechanical neglect.
