2020 Audi A3 Technik 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · ST66 YRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 28,934 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in late 2024. While the 2025 test identified pitted and scored front brake discs, the resolution of the critical tyre failures from the previous year suggests that the current owner is now addressing safety-critical defects as they are flagged. At six years old, the recorded mileage of 28,934 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain but can lead to degradation of rubber-based components. The gap between October 2023 and October 2024 saw an addition of 4,972 miles, which is consistent with the low-mileage profile. However, the low frequency of use suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, contributing to the perishing and cracking noted on the tyres. A buyer should focus inspection on the braking system, as records show recurring pitting and scoring on the front discs across both 2023 and 2025. This pattern often results from vehicles being stationary between uses, allowing moisture to corrode the metal surfaces. The 2024 failure due to deep cuts and perishing sidewalls indicates that the rubber compound is aging by age rather than mileage, so a thorough check of the sidewalls on all four remaining tyres is essential. Additionally, the 2024 note regarding unchecked rear seats and belts due to covers requires a physical inspection to verify that the interior safety equipment is present and functional.
