2021 Audi A3 Sport 40 Tfsi E S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · LS21 UCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT on October 28 2025 with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed the test on that same day due to the offside front tyre having tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. While the immediate fault was rectified, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner only addresses consumables once they reach a point of failure. At 36,136 miles over five years, the Audi has covered an average of approximately 7,200 miles per year. This is consistent with typical light usage for a modern hatchback. Between the April 2024 test at 25,996 miles and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered 10,140 miles. This steady accumulation explains the April 2024 advisories, where all four tyres were flagged as being worn close to the legal limit or uneven on the edges. A buyer should inspect the vehicle alignment and suspension components during a physical inspection. The 2024 advisory noting all four tyres were worn on the edges often points to incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage wear. Given the 2025 failure on a single low tyre, checking the remaining life of the other tyres is essential to ensure they are not also dangerously worn. There are no structural corrosion or mechanical failures recorded in the history, so the focus remains on the consistent upkeep of the undercarriage and consumables.
