2019 Audi A8 3.0L Petrol · RIG 4855

Based on the MOT history, the most recent test in September 2025 was a pass, but it still noted the nearside rear tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the edge. This was the third consecutive MOT where this specific defect was recorded for the same tyre, first appearing in 2024 and then again in 2025. The clear recurring pattern is inconsistent attention to a tyre wear issue. The vehicle passed cleanly in 2021 and 2022, but from 2023 onwards, problems appeared. The 2023 test revealed broader wear with multiple brake pads and discs flagged, along with both front tyres. While the brake issues from 2023 do not reappear in later tests, the persistent nearside rear tyre defect suggests the root cause was never properly fixed. This could point to a problem like incorrect wheel alignment, a suspension fault on that corner, or perhaps a budget tyre that wears poorly. The trend is not necessarily worsening overall, but it shows a specific, unresolved issue that has been allowed to recur. Regarding mileage, at roughly 7,290 miles per year, the usage is typical for a car of this age. It is neither exceptionally high nor low.
