2021 Audi A3 S Line 40 Tfsi E S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · LO21 XGA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection without failures. However, the test on June 5, 2026 at 29,676 miles introduced advisories regarding uneven wear on the nearside rear and offside front tyres, both noted as being close to the legal limit and worn on edge. This indicates that while mechanical components are passing, basic consumables are reaching the end of their life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 16,980 miles and the June 2025 test at 20,389 miles, the car covered only 3,409 miles, whereas it clocked 9,287 miles in the following year. This fluctuation in usage suggests the car may be used for short-distance trips, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or seized brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres, as the edge wear flagged in the 2026 advisory often points to tracking issues or incorrect camber settings. The previous failure for a defective wiper blade in 2024 is a minor cosmetic item but suggests a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive neglect. Since no structural corrosion or suspension failures have appeared in the records, the focus should remain on checking for signs of excessive rust on the brake discs due to the low-mile demand and ensuring the suspension bushes are free of cracking.
