2013 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · YP63 LVF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 with 120,193 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in early 2025. While the car failed in April due to serious suspension and tyre defects, the subsequent pass three months later indicates that the owner addressed the primary safety failures to bring the vehicle back into compliance. The recorded mileage of 120,193 miles over 13 years reflects an average annual usage pattern of approximately 9,246 miles, which is consistent with typical UK road use for this age. The data shows a significant spike in activity between May 2024 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed observed during the April 2025 test, as the increased mileage placed greater stress on aging components such as the shock absorbers and brake hardware. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and braking systems. Given the April 2025 failure for serious fluid leaks from both rear shock absorbers, the buyer should verify that these were replaced with quality parts and check for new signs of weeping seals. The record also notes pitted and scored brake discs in early 2025; while the car passed the following test, the buyer should still inspect the thickness and surface condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing their minimum limit. The history of perishing tyres and sidewall cuts in 2025 suggests that rubber components may be degrading due to age rather than just mileage. You should inspect all four tyres for cracking or uneven wear, as the previous owner struggled with multiple tyre failures simultaneously. No structural corrosion advisories are noted in the recent history, which suggests the integrity of the chassis remains stable despite the high-mileage status.
