2021 Audi A3 S Line 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · KT21 ACF

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on June 13, 2026 at 21,617 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. This transition from a failure to a clean pass suggests the owner took proactive action to rectify safety-related concerns. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per annum. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 3,420 miles, while it clocked 5,235 miles in the most recent year. While this low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the slow rate of travel often leads to rubber-based degradation, which was evidenced by the 2024 inspection results. The failure on June 8, 2024 at 12,823 miles highlights a specific lapse in tyre maintenance. The tester flagged multiple tyres for perishing, cracking, and a structural cut on the offside rear that reached the cords. These issues were resolved before the re-test five days later, but the buyer should still inspect the remaining tyres for sidewall cracking or uneven wear, as the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust or seized pistons when they are not driven regularly at motorway speeds. Given there is no history of structural corrosion or mechanical failure in the record, the primary concern remains ensuring that the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, have not perished due to age and long periods of standing.
