2011 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · LF60 EOW

Most recent MOT (July 2025) – The car passed, but both front tyres were recorded as “worn close to the legal limit / worn on the edge”. This is the only defect flagged on the latest test. Recurring pattern – Tyre wear has been the sole issue across the five‑year MOT record. In 2022 the rear tyres were at the legal limit, and in 2025 the front tyres are now at the same point. No other mechanical or safety defects have been noted. Trend analysis – The pattern shows a regular cycle of tyre wear rather than a growing fault in the drivetrain, suspension or brakes. Apart from tyres, the MOT history is clean, indicating that the vehicle’s core systems have remained stable. The only sign of deterioration is the natural progression of tyre tread, which is expected as mileage accumulates. Mileage versus age – At 146,238 mi for a 15‑year‑old Audi A3 the average is about 9,750 mi per year, which sits squarely in the typical range for a vehicle of this age. The mileage does not point to either heavy‑use abuse or prolonged periods of inactivity; it simply reflects average usage.
