2020 Audi S3 2.0L Petrol · M9 GRF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 52,543 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of neglect in early 2024. While the car previously failed due to multiple safety items, the clean sheet from the latest inspection indicates that the previous owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and consumable issues identified years prior. At 52,543 miles over six years, the Audi averages approximately 8,750 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a performance-oriented vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent annual growth, with roughly 11,000 miles driven between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 7,400 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and brake fluid. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres given the recurring issues noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads in January 2024 and uneven edge wear on the nearside front tyre in January 2025. While these appear resolved, a physical inspection is necessary to verify that the rear calipers are not binding and that the alignment is not causing premature tyre wear. The previous failure for a deep cut in the offside rear tyre also suggests a history of impact-related damage, so a thorough check of the remaining tyre sidewalls is advisable.
