2019 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · GL69 UKS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a sudden decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed three consecutive annual tests without any defects, the test on 12 May 2026 at 58,801 miles failed due to thin rear brake pads and a damaged nearside rear tyre. The subsequent pass just days later at the same mileage suggests the owner only addressed faults following a failure rather than maintaining a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 40,642 miles in June 2023 to 52,798 miles in May 2025, and reaching 58,801 miles by May 2026. This rate suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and mechanical seals, despite the recent evidence of component degradation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The May 2026 failure noted the nearside front tyre was worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. Given that the rear brake pads were also flagged, the discs should be checked for grooving or uneven wear caused by operating with thin material. The buyer must verify all tyre sidewalls for structural damage to ensure the cut noted in the previous failure was properly replaced rather than merely overlooked.
