2009 Audi A3 1.6L Petrol · YB09 YMB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 14 December 2024 at 124,875 miles. The recent test history indicates a stable trend, with the last two annual inspections recording no defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed a test on 7 December 2023, it passed on the same day, suggesting that any initial issues were rectified immediately. This sequence of four consecutive clean passes since November 2021 points to a consistent state of compliance during the most recent period of the vehicle's life. With a total of 124,875 miles accumulated over seventeen years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,346 miles per annum. This rate of use aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, indicating steady rather than intensive usage. The MOT data shows no significant gaps in testing, confirming the vehicle has remained in active circulation throughout the recorded period. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that frequently deteriorate on high-mileage Audi A3 models of this vintage, regardless of the clean MOT record. Prioritise a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often show signs of fatigue at this mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, as the MOT test only assesses performance and not the remaining service life of these consumables. Confirm the condition of the exhaust system and check for any signs of structural corrosion underneath the chassis, as these areas are prone to degradation in older vehicles.
