2020 Audi A3 S Line 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · DW18 NEJ

The 2020 Audi A3 S Line 35 TFSI presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 57,437 miles passing cleanly with zero defects recorded. The two preceding annual tests, conducted on 11 December 2024 at 50,239 miles and 14 December 2023 at 30,438 miles, also passed without any advisories or failures. This three-year unblemished record indicates consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation pattern is broadly typical for a six-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, the car covered approximately 19,801 miles in twelve months, which is notably higher than the overall average of roughly 9,573 miles per year. That spike suggests a period of heavier use, possibly longer commutes or motorway driving, before tapering to around 7,198 miles in the following twelve months through December 2025. The record is clean with no gaps in annual testing, and the current mileage of 57,437 is consistent with the vehicle's age. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection. The 2020 A3 platform commonly develops wear in front lower suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links over 50,000 miles, so checking for clunking or uneven tyre wear is worthwhile. The 35 TFSI turbocharged petrol engine should be inspected for oil leaks around the camshaft cover gasket and turbocharger feed pipes, while the dual-clutch S tronic gearbox deserves a test drive assessment for judder at low speed. Brake disc thickness and pad condition should be verified given the higher-mileage period recorded in 2024. Structurally, inspect the inner wing arches, sills, and subframe mounting points for any signs of corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in areas with heavy road salt use. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
