Hi everyone.
I have recently seen an advert for a 13 plate a3 s line sportback 1.4 petrol for £8000.
I have done an mot check on it and in 2016 the car had only done 19k and every year after was basically a 30k year for the car.
My average mileage a year is under 6k so I wouldn’t be adding that much to it in all honesty.
My question is, how well does the engine hold up after them miles, as this looks like it is mainly motorway miles would this be a good buy? It has had a timing belt change at 80k and is mot till April 2020, so has a while to go, it does say the front break pads are wearing thin on the advisory notes of the mot is this a costly fix?
Has anyone got any experience with a high mileage car such as this does it still run smooth?
Thanks for you replies
