2021 Audi A3 S Line ED 1 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · LS21 PCV

The most recent MOT examination conducted on 8 December 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When viewed alongside the previous test from December 2024, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the minor tyre advisory noted in the earlier inspection has been resolved. This suggests a consistent approach to vehicle upkeep and a lack of systemic mechanical failures. With a recorded mileage of 34,513 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,900 miles per annum. This level of usage is typical for a modern executive hatchback and indicates a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the risks associated with excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension found in high-mileage examples, while also avoiding the degradation of seals and rubber components often seen in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods standing. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should perform a detailed physical inspection of the tyres. The 2024 advisory regarding edge wear on the offside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or a tendency toward understeer; therefore, check for uneven tread wear across the remaining tyres and listen for any abnormal road noise during the test drive. Ensure the tyre sidewalls are free from perishing or cracking, which can occur even with moderate mileage if the rubber has aged. Given the vehicle age and its mild hybrid powertrain, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals rather than just mileage. Inspect the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion or binding calipers, and verify the health of the 12V battery, as these systems can be sensitive to voltage drops. Finally, during the test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the mild hybrid transition and listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that may indicate the early wear of suspension bushes.
