2013 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · YD63 FNF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT result in the most recent test on 17 January 2026 at 114,261 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects, suggesting the car is currently in a roadworthy condition. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without major mechanical failures or structural issues, indicating a generally well-maintained vehicle. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage over the last decade, with a notable jump of approximately 16,600 miles between the January 2022 test at 97,053 miles and the June 2024 test at 113,923 miles. This two-year interval shows slightly higher usage than previous periods but remains within typical parameters for a long-term owner. While the recent history is clean, the record indicates intermittent neglect regarding consumable items. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit in September 2018 and rear tyres worn on the edges in June 2024. These recurring tyre advisories suggest that while major mechanical components remain sound, the previous owners occasionally deferred routine tyre replacement. A buyer should inspect the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that might indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues. The 2017 advisory regarding thin front brake pads is a standard consumable warning, but the absence of subsequent brake-related failures suggests these were addressed. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs for corrosion and the suspension bushes for perished rubber is advisable. The 2016 note regarding engine covers and undertrays being fitted is a positive indicator of basic underbody protection, which helps mitigate long-term corrosion risks.
