2021 Audi A3 S Line 40 Tfsi E S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · RE21 XNT

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on June 6, 2025, 83,037 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable but reactive pattern, as the record shows immediate failures followed by passes on the same testing day. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history of failing before passing suggests the previous owner only addressed issues when prompted by the testing centre rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles annually. Between the May 2024 test at 69,383 miles and the June 2025 test at 83,037 miles, the car covered 13,654 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway driving, which typically places specific stresses on drivetrain-related components compared to city use. The lack of advisories on the passing records either indicates the vehicle is in good mechanical condition or reflects a lack of detailed reporting by the MOT tester. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system, as high-mileage usage accelerates wear on control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and brake discs. Given the history of immediate failures and passes, a thorough check for fluid leaks or uneven brake pad wear is necessary. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for signs of excessive underbody corrosion to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to accelerated degradation of the mounting points.
