2021 Audi S3 Tfsi Quattro S-A 2.0L Petrol · CY71 AFJ

The most recent MOT on 2025‑08‑20 recorded a pass with a single advisory on the front inner brake disc (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). The preceding failure on 2024‑09‑12, which cited tyre sidewall non‑compliance and damage, was rectified within days and the vehicle passed cleanly on 2024‑09‑17. The pattern shows a stable to improving condition, with only a minor consumable advisory remaining. At 19 449 miles the car is roughly five years old, averaging about 3 900 miles per year—a low figure for its age. The MOT logs reveal a notable mileage jump from 11 104 miles in early September 2024 to 19 449 miles by late August 2025, an increase of over 8 300 miles in roughly eleven months. This suggests a period of heavier use or a long‑distance stint, yet the overall mileage remains modest. A pre‑purchase inspection should focus on the front inner brake discs, checking for pitting and ensuring they are not severely grooved and that the brakes operate without binding. The 2024 failure highlighted tyre problems— sidewall fitment issues, cracking, nails, and damage on both rear tyres—so a thorough tyre check is essential, looking for proper mounting, tread depth, and any embedded objects. Also examine suspension bushes and mounts for corrosion, and verify the quattro drivetrain for abnormal noise or wear at the differentials. The low mileage and recent clean MOT indicate basic upkeep has been maintained, but the brake disc advisory and past tyre damage point to occasional neglect of consumables. A detailed inspection of those components will confirm whether they are within acceptable limits before purchase.
