2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · YE18 AEC

The roadworthiness status of this Audi A3 is excellent, supported by a maintenance trend that shows absolute stability across consecutive annual examinations. In the most recent test conducted on 25 November 2025 at 45,139 miles, the vehicle secured a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This mirrors the spotless inspection sheets from October 2024 at 37,682 miles and October 2023 at 29,026 miles, proving that previous custodians maintained the machine to a high standard without allowing minor mechanical items to snowball into major faults. The mileage accumulation follows a remarkably consistent low-use pattern that averages approximately 5,600 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. The odometer progression shows steady increments, moving from 17,813 miles in October 2022 to 29,026 miles by October 2023, then climbing predictably to 37,682 miles in October 2024 before reaching the current 45,139 miles. An interesting anomaly exists on 11 October 2022 where the vehicle recorded a formal fail alongside a pass at the exact mileage of 17,813 miles, though zero defects were logged on the certificate, suggesting a minor administrative correction rather than a mechanical failure. Because the official MOT test records lack any historical advisory notes regarding corrosion, brake degradation, or suspension wear, physical inspection of the chassis and mechanical assemblies requires normal due diligence rather than targeted remediation. Buyers should still examine the brake discs and pads during a viewing, as low-mileage vehicles driven infrequently can occasionally suffer from surface corrosion on friction surfaces or sticky caliper sliders from standing. Suspension bushings, coil springs, and subframe mountings deserve a standard visual check for perishing or degradation, but the complete absence of historical advisories indicates a structurally sound chassis that warrants strong consideration for purchase.
