2022 Audi A3 S Line Edition 1 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · SJ72 KGK

A clean two-test MOT record with zero advisories and zero failures defines the roadworthiness profile of this 2022 Audi A3 S Line Edition 1 35 TFSI. The most recent assessment on 5 June 2026 returned a pass certificate and no defects recorded, mirroring the identical clean outcome logged on 3 September 2025. With only two tests on file, the sample size remains limited, but the absence of any flagged components, advisory items, or failed items across consecutive tests establishes a baseline of consistent DVSA compliance. There is no recorded pattern of brake wear, suspension deterioration, corrosion, or lighting defects to indicate any developing mechanical concerns within the scope of statutory inspection. Covering approximately four years from manufacture to the latest test, the recorded mileage of 40,024 miles equates to an annual accumulation of around 10,000 miles, which sits broadly in line with average usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression between the two recorded tests, from the 2025 entry through to June 2026, is consistent with steady, regular use rather than extended periods off the road or sudden intensive accumulation. This pattern of continuous driving is mechanically favourable compared to low-mileage vehicles prone to standing-start issues, while not being so high as to suggest excessive wear on major drivetrain or suspension components. At 40,024 miles, the 1.5 TFSI engine, DSG or manual gearbox (depending on the specific variant fitted), and ancillary systems remain well within typical service life expectations. Given the absence of any specific component advisories or failures, no targeted inspections of previously flagged items such as brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust mounting are strictly required by the MOT history. Nevertheless, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection and test drive. Listen for any knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn control arm bushings or anti-roll bar links common to MQB-platform vehicles at this mileage. Check for steering pull, vibration through the wheel, or uneven tyre wear, as the Audi A3 can be sensitive to suspension geometry following kerb impacts. On the road, evaluate pedal feel and stopping efficiency, paying particular attention to any judder under braking or pulling to one side, which may suggest warped front discs or a binding caliper even though no brake items were flagged at test. Inspect the underside visually for any oil seepage from the engine, gearbox, or haldex coupling if fitted, as well as condition of the undertray fasteners. Verify operation of all S Line Edition 1 specific equipment including LED matrix headlights, adaptive suspension (if equipped), and infotainment systems. Finally, confirm the service book history independently, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness at the point of test and cannot establish the regularity or completeness of manufacturer-scheduled maintenance.
