2012 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · YB61 JCZ

The 2026-06-18 test on 87,826 miles was passed, but the maintenance trend appears to be improving rather than worsening, as the MOT has been passing without defects since 2021. The most recent test on 2025-07-23 indicates that the front steering rack inner joint, suspension arm pins, and anti-roll bar linkage have only slight play, suggesting that the structural integrity of the front axle is currently sound. The mileage accumulation over the past five years is relatively consistent, with the vehicle averaging approximately 17,500 miles per year. The gap between the 2021-02-02 test at 55,943 miles and the 2024-07-25 test at 82,819 miles is negligible, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical performance without rapid wear on critical components. However, the 2023-07-28 test at 77,347 miles reveals that the rear anti-roll bar pin or bush has slight play, which is a minor wear item that does not typically indicate an imminent failure. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on the rear brake disc, which has been worn but not excessively, and the rear inner tyre, which is slightly damaged. The lack of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests suggests that basic upkeep has been maintained, but the slight play on the anti-roll bar linkage warrants a visual check during a physical inspection to confirm there is no excessive movement that would have caused a failure in a previous test.
