AUDI A32015 · 1.2L PETROL

The 2015 Audi A3 demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent 2026 MOT confirming roadworthiness but highlighting minor issues. At 62,559 miles, the tester flagged front tyre wear approaching legal limits, front brake discs pitted or scored, and an imbalance in the braking system requiring adjustment. Previous tests from 2022 to 2025 showed no defects, indicating consistent upkeep. However, the recurring brake disc condition and tyre wear suggest potential neglect in addressing minor wear, which could escalate without intervention. The vehicle’s mileage of 62,559 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 5,687 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage aligns with MOT records showing no defects between 2022 and 2025, implying periods of reduced activity or careful management. The 2026 test revealed the first issues in four years, raising questions about whether the car was stored for extended periods or if maintenance was deferred. The gap between 2025 and 2026 tests, spanning 5,911 miles, suggests the vehicle may have been driven infrequently in the intervening year. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front braking system, particularly the discs for further scoring and the calipers for binding. Tyres require immediate attention due to edge wear and near-limit tread depth. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, as low mileage can mask hidden issues. Structural integrity appears unaffected, but a thorough underbody inspection is advised to confirm no corrosion or damage was overlooked in the MOT history.
