2023 Audi A4 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 2.0L Petrol · LT23 KCE

The vehicle successfully passed its most recent MOT inspection on 3 March 2026, although the result was accompanied by advisories concerning the condition of the front tyres. While the overall mechanical status appears stable enough to meet the minimum legal requirements, the maintenance trend shows that consumable items are reaching the end of their serviceable life. The presence of these advisories suggests that while the vehicle is currently compliant, the owner will need to budget for immediate replacement of the front tyres to maintain safety and legal standards. With a recorded mileage of 24,534 miles over a three-year period, the vehicle has covered approximately 8,178 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this class and suggests a balanced driving profile that avoids the extremes of excessive high-speed motorway running or the potential issues associated with very low-mileage short trips. This moderate usage is generally beneficial for the health of the mild-hybrid electric vehicle system and the turbocharger, as it implies sufficient engine operating temperatures are reached regularly to prevent moisture accumulation in the oil and exhaust systems. The specific advisories regarding the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edges warrant careful scrutiny. Edge wear is frequently a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, such as improper toe or camber settings, or it may indicate premature wear of suspension components like tie-rod ends or control arm bushes. During your test drive, you should check for any steering wander, pulling to one side, or vibrations through the steering wheel at varying speeds. Listen closely for any rhythmic humming or thumping noises emanating from the front axle, which would confirm uneven tread patterns. Beyond the immediate tyre concerns, you should inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or age-related cracking, which can occur even if tread depth remains adequate. It is also essential to verify the service history to ensure that all scheduled maintenance, including oil changes and brake fluid replacements, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than solely on mileage. Given the front tyre wear, I also recommend inspecting the brake discs for unevenness or scoring and checking the calipers for any signs of binding, as uneven tyre wear can sometimes be linked to inconsistent braking performance.
