Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mil
Prioritise a thorough review of the service history to ensure the 1968cc diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals despite the high mileage. Check specifically for records of major component replacements that typically occur around this mileage threshold. Use the significantly above-average mileage as a primary point for price negotiation.
Verify that the recent tyre replacements following the June 2026 MOT failure were carried out to a high standard. Given the recurring nature of the tyre wear noted in the records, it is advisable to have the wheel alignment checked by a professional to prevent premature wear on new tyres.
As a 35 TDI model, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, and meets Euro 6 DG emissions standards. However, maintenance costs are likely to increase as the vehicle exceeds 120,000 miles, with a higher likelihood of wear-and-tear components requiring replacement.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on its CO2 emissions, and insurance for the S Line trim. Expect higher-than-average maintenance spend to keep a high-mileage diesel in roadworthy condition.
Carefully inspect the front tyres and request a wheel alignment report, as the MOT history shows a failure in 2026 and an advisory in 2024 specifically regarding the nearside front tyre. This recurring issue suggests a potential alignment problem or specific driving pattern that accelerates wear.
Check the condition of the brake discs, as these are listed as a top failure reason for this model in aggregate data. Additionally, ensure the engine management light and other dashboard indicators are fully operational, as 'engine mil inoperative' is another common failure point for the A3 across the wider dataset.
This 2020 black Audi A3 S Line 35 TDI has recorded 119,505 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a recent failure in June 2026 due to tyre tread depth, following a pattern of nearside front tyre wear noted as far back as 2024.
The Audi A3 has a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 89.9%, though tyre and brake disc issues are common across the model range.
