2021 Audi A3 S Line 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · SA21 XVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passed MOT on 30 March 2026 at 63,763 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding braking system performance. The car failed just two miles prior to that successful re-test due to a seriously weakened rear brake disc and a lagging nearside service brake. While the subsequent pass indicates these specific faults were rectified, the recurrence of brake-related defects suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement of components. At 63,763 miles over five years, this Audi has averaged approximately 12,750 miles per annum, which sits above the typical national average for a petrol vehicle. The data shows consistent high usage, with 12,389 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 12,495 miles covered in the following year. This steady rate of mileage accumulation places accelerated wear on consumable items and suspension components, which aligns with the mechanical issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive. The record shows front inner discs were already worn in March 2025, followed by the critical failure of the rear disc in 2026. You should check for uneven pad wear or signs of heat to ensure the calipers are not sticking. Additionally, the oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber noted in April 2024 should be re-examined to confirm the leak has not progressed into a functional failure, as high mileage often accelerates the degradation of suspension seals.
