2015 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · DF15 ABZ

The most recent MOT, taken on 21 January 2026 at 74,865 miles, was a Pass with only two tyre-related advisories. Both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit on their inner edges. This suggests a stable overall maintenance picture, but the front inner-edge wear is a recurring theme, flagged in February 2023, and then again in January 2026. It is not a worsening problem, yet the pattern points to a geometry or alignment issue that simply fitting new tyres will not cure. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable. The car covered roughly 9,900 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, then 8,966 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, and finally 9,906 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. Those annual figures sit slightly above the average of approximately 6,800 miles per year, but the usage is consistent with a regularly driven car rather than one left standing for long periods. The record contains no significant gaps that would indicate neglect or a hidden history. The January 2025 failure was for a misaligned washer jet, a minor fault, but the same test flagged all four brake pad sets as wearing thin. That suggests a full brake overhaul was due around 65,000 miles. The rear tyres also showed perishing at that same test, and had been advisories in February 2024 too. Any buyer should physically check the current brake pad thickness and the condition of the rear tyre sidewalls for cracking. Most importantly, the repeated inner-edge wear on the fronts means the front suspension bushes and alignment should be inspected on a ramp before purchase; otherwise uneven tyre wear will continue to drain money at every replacement interval.
