2011 Audi S3 2.0L Petrol · SF60 EAF

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED rating at the 2026-06-18 test, indicating that the MOT record is chronologically recent relative to the current date, with the most recent inspection occurring in August 2025. This stability suggests the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness over the past three years, though the most recent failure in July 2023 presents a significant gap that requires immediate attention. The consistent passing of the test at 115,470 miles demonstrates that the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain and suspension has been preserved, although the recent failure at 94,163 miles indicates a need for a thorough inspection of the brake and suspension systems. The mileage pattern shows a notable acceleration between 2025 and 2023, with the vehicle achieving approximately 7,698 miles annually. This rapid accumulation suggests that the owner has likely experienced significant usage or that the vehicle has been stored in a climate that accelerates wear, particularly on the drivetrain and suspension components. The gap between the 2023-07-22 and 2023-02-22 inspections is particularly concerning, as the vehicle failed at 94,163 miles with no recorded defects, which implies that the mechanical condition has deteriorated during the period of inactivity or storage. Given the failure in July 2023 and the subsequent passing in August 2025, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks. The failure at 94,163 miles with no defects suggests that the suspension bushes and coil springs may have been subjected to excessive forces or that the brake discs are corroded, which would lead to binding. The buyer should verify that the suspension has adequate bushing and coil spring integrity, check for rust on the brake discs, and ensure that the exhaust emissions are within the legal limits. A comprehensive visual inspection focusing on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components is essential to determine if the vehicle is roadworthy or requires urgent repair.
