Today brings excellent news: my 15-year-old pristine condition TDI Sportback A3 successfully passed its MOT on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at 10:30 AM. This marks three consecutive years of passing without any advisories. It is a fantastic vehicle, and I maintain it diligently.Does your A3 do the same fly-throughs during the yearly MOTs?

Apologies, I mistakenly referred to the 9P A3; I meant the 8P A3. What a fool I am! I like my A3 8P TDI; it is exceptional at £5,000 and in pristine condition. Hooray! I successfully passed my MOT today, with no advisories. I am elated with my car.

Has your 8P A3 passed for three consecutive years without any advisories?

I sold my A3 8P in April when it was 18 years old. I still like having the automobile, but it began to exhibit signs of ageing and failed the most recent yearly inspections. Minor issue, nevertheless bothersome, and tiny patches of rust were beginning to form. Nonetheless, it is commendable for a vehicle that has been parked outside its whole existence. The rationale for my upgrading to the new A3 8Y was that. If it had remained in pristine shape, I would have retained it for a more extended period.

Greetings, companion. I hope you are well, and that your family is also doing well. Yes, they have endured many miles over the last moon, but they are now exhibiting signs of ageing, though they are well-constructed, my friend.I will retain my vehicle since I cannot afford the £3,000 book price. It remains a commendable A3 8P, having successfully passed the previous three MOTs without advisories. The odometer reads 97,598 miles, and I have driven it for 16,000 miles; this is rather low mileage for a 2010 model, which is now 15 years old. Your former A3 8P seems to be excellent; these vehicles last if well maintained. I service my A3 annually.It is excellent. Best wishes, take care, friend.
