Hi My 2006 a3 is currently getting the ABS unit replaced under warranty as it suffered from the well known ESP light being permanently on. The garage originally purchased a reconditioned unit, but says that it wasn't happy with it as it only worked intermittently. Therefore they are...

What engine and year is the car out of interest

Maybe try a few tanks of shells Vpower diesel

I think this is more than likely the situation. The distance is 150 miles between the two MOT stations as russwuss pointed out, so it seems they might have kept the car for a while after the MOT failed and then passed it onto another dealer before it passed. On another note, i wish it was a...

Yeah, the realisation has just hit me :uhm: There was no pass between these two dates indicating that it should have been off the road which explains the 500 miles between them. Although they seem like an illegal 500 miles which shouldnt have occured, i think it means the car mileage is...

Good discovery mate, this seems like a legitimate scenario. Ill see what the hpi check digs up too before I make any judgement.

Thanks for the help chaps, the garage is going to run a full hpi for me so I will pursue further once I'm armed with more info. Audi last seen it in 2009 so not much use to me

I do have all of the mot stations details via googleing their names, but im not sure of what exactly i can ask them? Would it be a case of saying the car was in for an MOT in 2012, but the MOT prior to that was at a different station and there is only 500 miles between the two? Not sure how i...

I have emailed Audi asking them for everything they know about the vehicle, just waiting on there reply. Im not sure about the last registered keeper just yet, although i know it was given to the dealer in a PX deal - which makes me think it was a private owner

Hi guys Have put a deposit down on an A3 TDi at a local garage. I thought id check the MOT history via VOSA and it came back with the following: As you can see, between 2011 and 2012, only 500 miles was recorded. I may be being paranoid, but i suspect something dodgy here? The dealer is...

Thanks Sandra, I'm located in the North West. I haven't picked up the car yet, it will be Tuesday when its ready :)

Hey Just signed up, I've purchased an Audi A3 2.0TDI Sport on a 2006 plate with 53k on the clock (I'm assuming its still a baby - being a diesel). It will be my first experience with an Audi, coming over from an 08 Golf GT TSI 170. Main reasons for the changeover was for fuel costs with me...
