2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · CU57 KER

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights a specific safety concern regarding the front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This is the only defect recorded in the last five years of history. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears stable and generally positive, as there were no recorded defects between 2021 and 2024. However, the recent advisory regarding tyre wear suggests a shift from a perfectly clean history to one where consumable items are reaching the end of their service life. The uneven edge wear on the front tyres could indicate an issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that should be addressed. At roughly 9,300 miles per year, the mileage is typical for a ten-year-old car. This suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally good for mechanical components. The mileage is not high enough to suggest excessive wear on the drivetrain, but it is high enough that consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components will naturally require more frequent attention. When inspecting this car, your priority should be checking the condition and tread depth of all four tyres. Specifically, ask if the wheel alignment has been checked recently to explain the uneven wear on the front edges.
