2015 Audi A3 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · YW15 AEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 June 2026 at 108,715 miles with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a pattern of neglecting tyre health until the point of inspection. A clean pass in the latest test suggests the car is in a fair state of repair, but the history reveals a tendency to run consumables to their legal limits. Mileage accumulation has increased significantly in recent years. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, but this accelerated sharply between June 2025 and June 2026, where it covered 21,843 miles in a single year. This sudden spike in usage suggests a change in ownership or driving habits, which typically places higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres and wheel alignment. The 2019 test at 26,709 miles and the June 2025 test at 86,872 miles both flagged front tyres worn on the edges, which often indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. The failure in June 2025 specifically noted a perished dust cover on the offside front upper anti-roll bar ball joint. While this was resolved for the pass, the recurrence of edge-wear on tyres suggests a persistent alignment issue. The record shows a history of sidewall damage and cuts to the rear tyres in 2022 and 2024. While these were listed as advisories, they point to a lack of care regarding kerbing or road debris. A physical inspection should focus on the current condition of all four tyre sidewalls and a check of the front suspension geometry to ensure no premature wear is affecting the steering.
