2010 Audi S3 2.0L Petrol · AP60 TWJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 12 May 2026 at 56,383 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the two preceding tests in March 2025 and May 2025 showed no recorded mechanical or structural defects. The most recent inspection identified only minor issues regarding damaged sidewalls on both the offside and nearside front outer tyres, which represents a consumable failure rather than a systemic mechanical de-condition. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,524 miles per year. Data shows a significant interval of 6,328 miles covered between March 2025 and May 2025, followed by another 6,045 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. While this low usage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and corrosion on exposed brake assemblies. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre system and suspension components, as low mileage often masks age-related rot in bushes and perished seals. Given the recent sidewall damage, the front tyres should be checked for alignment issues that may have caused the impact damage. The inspector must also verify the brake discs and calipers for pitting or seizing, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust when the braking system is not used regularly to clear the rotors.
