2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · PR51 MCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite several recurring minor advisories. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 54,575 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a pattern of tyre-related issues seen in previous years, including sidewall damage in March 2023 and March 2022, and cracking or perishing in March 2021. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,961 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in distance covered, moving from 17,797 miles in March 2018 to 54,575 miles in November 2025. While the low usage suggests lighter mechanical strain on the drivetrain, the history of tyre perishing and pitting on brake discs indicates the car may spend significant periods stationary, which can lead to rubber degradation and surface corrosion on metal components. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the braking system and tyres. The March 2024 test noted both rear brake discs were pitted or scored, and the March 2024 test also recorded fluctuating rear service brakes. Although these issues appear to have been addressed or managed, a physical inspection of the rear discs and calipers is necessary to ensure no ongoing corrosion or binding exists. Given the recent advisory regarding front tyre wear, a full check of the tread depth and alignment is also required. Finally, the recurring presence of child seats preventing full seatbelt inspections in 2019, 2020, and 2024 suggests that certain safety components were not fully verified during those tests. You should manually check the tension and integrity of all adult seatbelts. The windscreen damage noted in December 2024 should also be inspected to ensure no new chips or cracks have developed that could compromise structural integrity or driver visibility.
