2019 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · CL19 BVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 49,496 miles passed, it introduced advisories for perishing and cracking on both front outer tyres. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that rubber-based components are now beginning to age-related despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between July 2022 (26,635 miles) and July 2024 (38,699 miles), the car covered 12,064 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The jump of 10,797 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a consistent driving habit, which explains the appearance of mechanical wear noted in the more recent MOT entries. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The 2024 test flagged the offside front tyre at a dangerous 1.8mm and nearside rear brake pads at 3mm, indicating that the previous owner ran components close to their failure limits. Because the 2025 advisory specifically noted tyre cracking, the current tyres are likely reaching their structural end and require replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring to ensure that the thin pads noted in 2024 did not damage the rotors.
