It failed its MOT on 22 September 2025 (windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid) and passed later the same day.

Mileage at that test: 98,028 miles, which matches the advertised 100,580 miles.

Advertised mileage is about 300 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2012 Audi A3 on AskCar.
