2017 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · LM67 XES

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT results indicate a shift toward neglected consumable maintenance. While the car passed its test on 12 June 2026 at 29,650 miles, the tester flagged several issues regarding tyre condition. Specifically, the nearside rear tyre has a cut, and all four tyres show signs of cracking or perishing. The front tyres are also worn close to the legal limit on the inner edges. This suggests that while the vehicle remains legal, the previous owner has allowed rubber components to age and wear beyond optimal levels. The mileage history confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,294 miles per year since its 2017 manufacture. The recorded progression from 21,504 miles in June 2022 to 29,650 miles in June 2026 shows a very consistent and low-intensity driving pattern. This low annual mileage often explains the specific defects noted in the records. The cracking and perishing of the tyres, alongside the pitted brake discs noted in the 11 June 2025 test at 27,693 miles, are classic symptoms of a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods rather than being driven regularly. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the braking system. The recurring mentions of pitted or scored brake discs in 2025, combined with the recent tyre degradation, suggest that the vehicle's components are suffering from age-related deterioration rather than heavy mechanical wear. You should check for any signs of uneven tyre wear that might indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues, particularly given the inner edge wear flagged in the latest test. Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads thoroughly to ensure the pitting has not progressed into significant corrosion or uneven braking performance.
