2022 Audi A3 Sport 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · DP06 ASH

The most recent MOT, dated 14 June 2025, was passed at 21,190 miles. The only advisory items recorded were tyre‑related: all four tyres were noted as slightly damaged or cracking, and the nearside front tyre was close to the legal tread limit and showing edge wear. No other defects or advisories were logged. The pattern emerging from the MOT data is limited to tyre condition. With only one MOT entry there is no clear trend to track, but the fact that all four tyres are already showing signs of ageing suggests the tyre wear is progressing faster than the low mileage might imply. This can happen when a vehicle is driven relatively little – the rubber ages and cracks even if the tread depth is still acceptable, especially if the tyres have not been rotated regularly. Mileage-wise, 21,190 miles over roughly four years works out to about 5,300 miles per year, which is well below the UK average. Low annual mileage generally means less wear on the engine, transmission, suspension and brake components, so those areas are likely to be in good condition. However, low usage can also mean the tyres have spent a long time on the road without the benefit of regular rotation, leading to uneven ageing and the cracking noted on the MOT. Because the only recorded issue is tyre deterioration, the most pressing risk is loss of grip or a tyre failure, particularly on the nearside front where the tread is near the legal minimum.
