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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 1, 2026, 78,259 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent instability evidenced by a failure just one month prior. On March 27, 2026, at 77,992 miles, the exhaust lambda reading fell outside of specified limits. While the subsequent pass indicates the issue was rectified, the appearance of an emissions failure at this mileage suggests a potential sensor fault or combustion efficiency issue that requires close monitoring. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between the March 2024 test at 24,360 miles and the March 2025 test at 45,260 miles, representing over 20,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use, which places accelerated stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware compared to lower-average examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and suspension-related components, as the 2024 record flagged four perished tyres and uneven wear on the front edges. The recurring nature of tyre damage and wear between 2024 and 2025 indicates a history of neglecting basic consumable upkeep or ignoring alignment issues. Given the high mileage and the recent emissions failure, a physical check of the brake discs thickness and the condition of the front control arm bushings is essential to ensure the high usage has not caused premature mechanical degradation.
