2022 Audi RS 3 Vorsprung Tfsi Quattro SA 2.5L Petrol · FE72 UCJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 28 August 2025 at 6,196 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This suggests the car has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile over the limited available history, though the single test date provides minimal long-term context. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the sole available MOT implies no obvious patterns of neglect or mechanical degradation. However, the lack of prior tests means there is no evidence of how the vehicle performed before August 2025, and the short interval since the last test—just under a year—does not allow for an assessment of wear progression over time. The recorded mileage of 6,196 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of around 1,500 miles annually, which is unusually low for a high-performance vehicle of this type. Such low mileage could indicate limited use, extended periods of storage, or even potential odometer manipulation, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The sparse MOT history further complicates interpretation, as there are no intermediate tests to verify whether the vehicle was consistently maintained or left unused for extended periods. Without additional service records, it is impossible to determine whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain fluids were serviced according to manufacturer recommendations. Given the limited MOT data, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not directly covered by the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Particular attention should be given to the suspension system, including the condition of front and rear bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can degrade rapidly if the car has been stored for prolonged periods. The braking system—specifically brake pads, calipers, and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. Additionally, the drivetrain, including the Quattro system’s transfer case and differential, should be inspected for fluid leaks or unusual noise, as these components can suffer from prolonged immobility. Finally, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the subframe and exhaust system, is essential, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop structural weaknesses if exposed to harsh conditions.
