2023 Audi A3 S Line 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · KM23 NHC

A clean MOT record to date means the car has not been flagged for any safety‑critical defects or recurring advisories, and the most recent pass on 10 February 2026 confirms that, at the time of testing, all inspected systems met the statutory requirements. At just under 25 000 mi after roughly three years of service, the average annual accumulation sits around 8 300 mi, which aligns with normal private‑use patterns for a recent‑model hatchback. There are no unexplained mileage gaps between the registration date and the MOT, indicating continuous use rather than prolonged storage that could conceal hidden deterioration. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by a pass‑only report. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, glazing or scoring, and listen for any squeal or judder when applying the brakes. Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and feel for any vibration or pulling at speeds above 50 mph that could point to wheel imbalance or worn suspension bushes. Inspect the front and rear suspension components—control arm bushings, tie‑rod ends and shock absorbers—for looseness, leaks or excessive play when the wheels are rocked. During a short test drive, pay particular attention to steering feel (any shimmy or pull to one side), the responsiveness of the accelerator (no hesitation or surging), and the operation of the gearbox (smooth shifts without clunking). A quick visual check under the bonnet for any fresh oil leaks, coolant drips or cracked hoses will complement the MOT data and give a clearer picture of the car’s current mechanical health before committing to purchase.
