2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · YC68 YBK

This Audi A3 maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate across its history. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 51,646 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged plastic floor sills and engine covers. These are cosmetic or non-structural issues that do not impact the mechanical integrity of the vehicle. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 6,456 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, moving from 18,907 miles in October 2021 to 51,646 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or excessive short-trip city driving. A recurring trend of tyre wear suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The tester flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit in October 2021 and again in October 2024 at 43,263 miles. This indicates the previous owner tended to run consumables down to the minimum safety threshold before replacing them. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the plastic floor sills and engine covers, as these have appeared as advisories in every test since 2021. While the plastic-coated brake pipes and headlamp aim settings mentioned in the 2022 test are common for this model, a physical check of the tyre tread depths and the condition of the suspension bushes is advised to ensure current roadworthiness.
