2022 Audi A3 S Line 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · FN22 FXC

The most recent MOT test conducted on 09 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. When reviewing the vehicle's history, the maintenance trend appears stable and improving. The 2024 test noted a minor defect regarding a windscreen wiper blade and an advisory for a nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. The absence of these issues in the 2025 test indicates that these items were likely rectified, suggesting a conscientious approach to vehicle upkeep by the previous owner. With a recorded mileage of 39,159 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,790 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a modern petrol-hybrid vehicle in the UK and suggests the car has been used regularly without being subject to excessive high-mileage wear or the mechanical risks associated with long periods of standing. This moderate usage level implies that while the primary engine and transmission components should be robust, the vehicle is approaching a stage where wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension components will require more frequent inspection. During your physical inspection and test drive, you should verify that the tyre issues noted in 2024 have been fully addressed. Check the tread depth and condition of all tyres, looking specifically for uneven wear patterns on the inner or outer edges, which could signal misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes. On the test drive, pay close attention to the steering and suspension response; listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when driving over bumps, which could indicate failing dampers or worn coil springs. Additionally, check the brake pedal feel for any pulsation or shuddering, which may suggest warped discs or sticking calipers. Given the vehicle's age and its Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) configuration, it is also advisable to confirm the service history is up to date, specifically regarding oil changes and fluid replacements. Even with moderate mileage, brake fluid and coolant should be changed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals to prevent internal corrosion or degradation. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks around seals and check the condition of the battery terminals. Finally, ensure the windscreen wipers and washer system are fully operational to confirm the previous minor defect has been permanently resolved.
