2021 Audi RS 3 Tfsi Quattro S-A 2.5L Petrol · MW71 CWC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding rubber component degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 13,580 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres for perishing sidewalls and slight damage. This represents a significant progression from the December 2024 test where only the nearside front tyre showed deterioration. The mileage is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, covering only 13,580 miles over a five-year period. This averages to approximately 2,700 miles per year, which explains the premature perishing observed in the MOT records. Between the December 2024 test at 11,651 miles and the November 2025 test, the car covered fewer 2,000 miles. Long periods of inactivity often lead to dry rot and sidewall failure despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres to check for deep cracking or structural bulges previously missed. The recurring mentions of sidewall damage suggest the vehicle may have sat stationary for long durations, which can also affect other rubber-based components. You should inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion due to lack of use and examine the suspension bushings for cracking. Ensure the low mileage has not masked neglected service-related issues or fluid degradation.
