2002 Audi S3 1.8L Petrol · SW02 UYH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test in November 2021 at 90,533 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car maintained its mechanical integrity during its last documented inspection. While a failure occurred in April 2019, the immediate pass suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,772 miles per year. Between February 2018 and November 2021, the car covered 26,964 miles, showing a consistent light usage pattern. However, there is a significant gap in the record following the November 2021 test. Given the current date, the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in over four years. This long period of potential inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues that are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to the low mileage. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from perished bushes, seized calipers, and degraded brake lines from long periods of standing. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be scrutinized for corrosion, particularly around the subframes and mounting points, as older Audi models are prone to age-related rust regardless of the miles driven. While the history is clean, the lack of recent testing means the current state of consumable tyres and underbody components remains unverified.
