2022 Audi A3 Sport 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · JH14 BEL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-08 at 40,837 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, and the preceding test in February 2025 at 34,901 miles also passed without fail. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past year, with no recurring advisories or failures to suggest deferred repairs or neglect. The absence of any advisory notes in either test further implies that the tester did not identify any hidden issues requiring immediate attention, though this does not preclude wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure thresholds. The recorded mileage of 40,837 miles over approximately four years—roughly 10,209 miles annually—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate usage without excessive wear. There are no gaps in MOT history that would raise concerns about prolonged neglect, nor is there evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might indicate aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The consistent interval between tests (around 6–7 months) aligns with standard servicing practices, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means no confirmation of oil changes, fluid top-ups, or other scheduled maintenance. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that often fail between tests, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear, binding calipers, or glazed discs—common issues that may not yet meet MOT failure criteria but could indicate poor past maintenance. Additionally, a thorough check of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, especially near the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, is advisable, as these are often overlooked until they affect emissions or structural integrity. The engine bay should be inspected for oil leaks, degraded hoses, or corrosion around the battery and alternator, while the interior tyres should be examined for uneven tread wear or embedded debris that could signal alignment or suspension issues.
