Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle has a consiste
The primary focus for a buyer should be the braking system. MOT records from January 2022 and January 2025 specifically flagged wearing brake pads on both the rear and front axles respectively. You should request evidence of when these pads were last replaced to ensure they are not currently at the end of their service life.
Additionally, check for any records of headlamp maintenance. A January 2025 advisory noted a dim light source on the nearside front headlamp; while this did not cause a failure, it is a point to verify during a physical inspection to ensure visibility is optimal.
The 1.0L engine is designed for efficiency, which typically results in lower road tax and insurance premiums compared to larger A3 variants. However, as an Audi, routine servicing and genuine parts can be more expensive than those for budget brands.
Expected costs will include annual tax, insurance based on the driver's group, and fuel. Given the engine size and model type, maintenance should be regular to avoid the common anti-roll bar issues seen across the wider A3 population.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the brake pads and discs. Since 'brake pad wearing thin' is a repeated advisory for this car and one of the top failure reasons for the A3 model overall, confirming the current thickness of the pads is essential.
Check the operation of all exterior lighting, specifically the nearside front headlamp, following the 2025 advisory. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers are functioning correctly, as a defective blade was noted in the January 2024 test.
This black 2017 Audi A3 features a 999cc petrol engine and has recorded 69,070 miles. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes, although it has seen recurring advisories regarding brake pad wear. Overall, the vehicle's usage patterns align closely with the average for this model.
The Audi A3 has an average MOT pass rate of 82.1%, with the most frequent failures relating to brakes and anti-roll bars.
