2022 Audi RS 3 Carbon Black Tfsi Quat SA 2.5L Petrol · AY22 VMT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 17 March 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 21,048 miles . The preceding test cycle, however, reveals an unusual pattern: a failure on 21 March 2025 at 14,949 miles —despite no defects being logged—followed by a swift retest and pass on 24 March 2025 at 14,952 miles . This suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a retest after a quick correction, but no recurring mechanical issues have been formally documented in the last two years. The absence of advisories or repeated faults implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems with suspension, brakes, or structural integrity during its recent history. The recorded mileage of 21,048 miles at four years old—approximately 5,262 miles per annum —is unusually low for a high-performance vehicle of this type. The gap between the 2025 failure and retest (just three days) and the subsequent 14,952-mile interval before the next pass suggests the car may have been stored or used intermittently rather than driven consistently. This pattern could indicate periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on fluids, tyres, or suspension components if not properly maintained. The most recent test, however, confirms the vehicle is currently compliant, though the low mileage raises questions about whether critical services—such as brake fluid changes, suspension lubrication, or tyre rotations—have been performed on schedule. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of brake calipers and pads , particularly for binding or uneven wear, as the retest suggests a potential oversight rather than a resolved issue. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or excessive play, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Exhaust emissions and structural corrosion —common in high-performance models—must also be checked, as the MOT record does not provide visibility into these areas. Finally, the tyre tread depth and condition warrant scrutiny, as the failure on 21 March 2025, if indeed related to tyres, indicates a history of neglect in this critical area.
