2021 Audi A3 S Line ED 1 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · NU09 MAL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 at 35,509 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2026-03-26 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or repeated testing. The prior tests from 2025-03-12 (26,882 miles) and 2024-03-14 (17,702 miles) both passed with no issues, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the history, though the failed test warrants scrutiny for potential anomalies. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,509 miles over five years equates to an average of 7,102 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. A notable jump from 17,702 miles in 2024 to 26,882 miles in 2025 suggests accelerated usage, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2024 tests implies consistent maintenance, but the lack of data between 2025 and 2026 raises questions about potential gaps in oversight. The recent pass at 35,509 miles confirms no immediate risks, but the failed test’s ambiguity requires further clarification. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s brake system, including calipers, discs, and pads, for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in higher-mileage vehicles. Suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, should be inspected for fatigue, particularly given the mileage increase between 2024 and 2025. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as these are critical for long-term reliability. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the failed test and limited data between 2025 and 2026 recommend a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
