AUDI A3 S LINE 35 TFSI MHEV S-A2020 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in tyre condition management. While the most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 32,981 miles passed, the tester flagged advisories across all four tyres for perishing and cracking. This represents a worsening trend compared to the December 2024 test, where only the nearside rear tyre was noted for similar cuts and cracks. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, moving from 21,117 miles in December 2023 to 28,056 miles in December 2024, and finally to 32,981 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which explains the apparent chemical degradation and perishing of the tyre rubber despite potentially sufficient tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the entire tyre set, as the recurring perishing faults indicate the rubber has reached its shelf life through age rather than wear. Given the low mileage, the tester did not flag issues with brake components or suspension bushes, but the buyer should check for brake disc surface corrosion or seized calipers caused by lack of use. The structural integrity of the vehicle appears sound based on the record, as no corrosion-related advisories were issued across the three years of testing.
