2022 Audi A3 Sport 40 Tfsi E S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · BD22 DGO

A completely clean MOT record across the last two annual tests, most recently on 12 August 2026, indicates that no roadworthiness‑related defects have been recorded for this 2022 Audi A3 Sport 40 TFSI e S‑A. The absence of advisories or failures in both the 2025‑07‑21 and 2026‑08‑12 examinations suggests that, at the times of testing, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards without any noted deficiencies. At 57 765 miles the car averages roughly 14 400 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits above the typical usage pattern for a four‑year‑old compact executive. This higher annual accumulation translates into accelerated wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, tyre tread, and suspension bushings. The MOT history shows no gaps in testing, so the mileage progression appears continuous rather than indicative of prolonged storage periods. When you inspect the car, give particular attention to the braking system: feel for any pulsation or sponginess in the pedal, listen for squeal or grinding on initial application, and examine the discs for uneven wear or scoring. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for signs of uneven wear that could point to misaligned suspension or worn steering components. While the MOT did not flag any suspension issues, a high‑mileage Audi may develop loosened bushings or worn control arm joints; a test‑drive over bumps should reveal any clunking, knocking, or excessive body roll. Similarly, monitor the engine and drivetrain for any oil or coolant leaks around the front and rear mounts, and listen for abnormal noises from the timing chain or turbocharger under load. Verify that all electronic aids—such as the adaptive cruise control and lane‑keeping assist—activate without fault, as high mileage can sometimes expose sensor or wiring wear. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection that includes a compression check, visual inspection of the exhaust system, and a scan for stored fault codes will complement the clean MOT record and give a clearer picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical health.
