2023 Audi A3 S Line ED 1 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · HA72 NAH

The most recent MOT, carried out on 5 June 2026, resulted in a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the vehicle shows a clean compliance record and there is no evidence of deteriorating condition; the trend can be described as stable, assuming regular servicing has been observed between tests. At three years old the Audi A3 S line has logged 21 871 miles, equating to roughly 7 300 miles per annum. This annual usage sits comfortably within the normal band for a compact executive car and suggests a moderate driving style rather than either excessive high‑speed mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no apparent gaps in the recorded mileage that would indicate long-term storage, but the relatively low total distance for its age does mean that some components may have aged more by calendar time than by wear. For a vehicle of this age and mileage the buyer should focus on age‑related checks rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, as the original tyres may be approaching the end of their service life despite modest tread wear. Examine the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on the terminals and verify its charge retention, especially if the car has spent periods standing; a load test at the dealership or a reputable garage will confirm remaining capacity. Verify that the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and gearbox oil have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s service intervals – fluid degradation can occur on a calendar basis even when mileage is low. Look for any evidence of brake disc surface rust or uneven pad wear, and listen for any shudder or pulsation when applying the brakes, which can indicate early disc corrosion or caliper sticking. Finally, confirm that the service book contains stamps for the required 12‑month or 10 000‑mile service, and that any Audi‑specific recalls have been addressed. During a test drive pay attention to the steering feel for any play that could hint at worn suspension bushes, and listen for clunks over bumps that might reveal deteriorating bushings or mounting points. A thorough visual inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion, especially around the catalytic converter and muffler, will also be prudent given the vehicle’s three‑year exposure to road salts and moisture. If all these checks are satisfactory, the car presents a sound mechanical basis for purchase.
