2017 Audi A3 2.5L Petrol · WR67 GHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last four years. Although the most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 112,832 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests either a minor administrative error or a trivial item that was rectified instantly before the retest. Since the October 2022 test at 82,285 miles, the car has consistently met minimum safety standards without any flagged mechanical or structural advisories. The mileage data indicates high annual usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum. The record shows steady and predictable accumulation, with roughly 13,765 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 10,771 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for motorway or long-distance commuting, which typically puts less strain on the clutch and gearbox components compared to short-mileage stop-and-start driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to high-mileage wear that the MOT does not fully test. Given the 112,000-mile mark, a close check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is essential to identify perished rubber or leaking seals. The brake discs should be inspected for excessive thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT only checks for binding and efficiency. Because the history shows no previous structural corrosion or rust issues, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but the exhaust system should be checked for signs of fatigue resulting from the high heat cycles.
