2020 Audi A3 S Line 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · SK70 WRR

A clean MOT record across four consecutive annual tests, most recently on 16 September 2026, indicates that no roadworthiness‑related defects have been recorded for this 2020 Audi A3 S line. The absence of advisories or failures over the past three years suggests that, at the time of each test, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions criteria without issue. With 16 845 mi logged since its first registration in 2020, the average annual accumulation is roughly 2 800 mi, well below the typical UK usage rate for a vehicle of this age. The consistent yearly MOTs show no gaps in testing, implying the car has been kept on the road rather than stored for extended periods. Mechanically, the low mileage reduces the expected wear on high‑frequency consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, while also meaning that major wear items such as suspension bushings and engine bearings are likely to be in relatively early stages of their service life. Although the MOT history contains no specific defects, a buyer should still verify the condition of age‑sensitive components. During a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking over bumps that could reveal worn suspension bushings or loose control‑arm joints, and feel for any vibration or judder in the steering that might indicate worn tie‑rod ends or wheel bearing play. Apply the brakes firmly at moderate speed and note any squeal, pulsation, or a soft pedal feel, which would point to pad wear, disc surface issues, or potential caliper binding not captured by the MOT. A visual inspection should include checking the tyre tread depth and uniformity, confirming that there are no visible cracks or bulges in the sidewalls, and ensuring the tyre wear pattern is even. Examine the under‑carriage for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, exhaust hangers or suspension mounting points, and look for fresh oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle. Confirm that all lights, indicators and windscreen wipers operate correctly, and verify that the emissions control system shows no warning lights on the instrument cluster before finalising the purchase.
