2020 Audi A3 S Line 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · LR70 JXU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent maintenance issues. The most recent MOT on 20 October 2025 at 26,916 miles shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a corrective cycle in late 2024 where the vehicle failed on several items including rear shock absorber fluid leaks and brake pad wear. The transition from the failed test on 17 October 2024 to the clean pass in 2025 suggests that the flagged mechanical and consumable faults were addressed. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a vehicle of this age. With 26,916 miles recorded in 2025, the car has averaged approximately 4,486 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump between the August 2023 test at 18,759 miles and the October 2024 test at 25,163 miles, representing over 6,000 miles in 14 months. While the overall mileage remains low, the pattern of tyre perishing and cracking noted in October 2024 often correlates with vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods rather than high-speed motorway use. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems. Although the 2024 failure noted serious fluid leaks from both rear shock absorbers, the subsequent clean pass implies replacement or repair. It remains prudent to visually inspect the rear dampers for any signs of weeping. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre condition and brake pad thickness, specifically the ply exposure in August 2023 and the thin pads in October 2024. The brake system history shows fluctuating rear service brakes and thin pads across multiple tests. While the 2025 record is clear, checking the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring is advisable. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also inspect all rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, to ensure that age-related perishing has not replaced mechanical wear as the primary degradation factor.
