2019 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · MH19 WCW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 73,467 miles passed with minor advisories regarding a cut offside front tyre and worn front brake discs, this followed a significant failure in 2024. The trend shows the vehicle has previously operated with multiple safety-critical lighting and braking defects, suggesting that repairs were deferred until the MOT deadline approached. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 39,913 miles in June 2022 to 62,227 miles in July 2024, with a further 11,240-mile interval covered in the following year. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and components, but it also explains the consistent wear on consumables like brake components noted in the inspection reports. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the record highlights a recurring issue with thin pads and pitted or scored discs. The 2024 failure noted rear brake pads were worn very low alongside scored discs, and the 2025 test confirmed the front discs are also worn. This indicates the braking system is nearing a stage requiring a full overhaul. Additionally, the 2024 failure involving a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre and edge wear on the offside tyre suggests the vehicle may have suffered from poor alignment or had undergone significant impacts that warrant a thorough check of the suspension bushes and steering geometry.
