2017 Audi A3 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · RX67 FUE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test on 8 July 2026 at 72,653 miles passed despite testers highlighting uneven wear on three tyres and poor condition on the inner front brake disc surfaces. This follows a multi-year trend where brakes and tyres are only addressed once they reach the point of failure or advisory, rather than being replaced as part of a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 9,000 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, followed by another 10,800 miles leading up to the latest test in July 2026. While the low annual mileage suggests light use, the intervals between tests and the recurring degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perishing and cracking noted in 2023, indicate the car may sit stationary for extended periods between uses. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres wearing specifically on the edges across multiple years suggest an misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The front brake discs have been flagged for pitting and corrosion consistently since 2023; the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and ensure the discs have not been excessively thinned. Additionally, the 2021 failure regarding the supplementary restraint system warning lamp requires physical verification to ensure the airbag fault was properly resolved and is not a recurring electrical issue.
