2015 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · SW15 XMU

A consistently clean MOT record across seven consecutive tests highlights a pattern of roadworthiness for this 2015 Audi A3, with the most recent examination on 8 July 2026 confirming a pass and no recorded defects. The only blemish in the history is a 2019 advisory noting the nearside and off‑side rear tyres were close to the legal tread limit, but no failures have been logged since, indicating that any tyre‑related issues were addressed promptly. At 93,144 miles the vehicle averages roughly 8,500 miles per year, a usage rate that sits comfortably within normal expectations for a car of its age. The MOT schedule shows regular annual testing with only a short three‑month gap between the April 2021 and March 2020 examinations, suggesting the car has been kept on the road rather than stored for extended periods. Mechanically, this mileage level means that major wear items such as clutch, timing chain and engine bearings are likely within typical service intervals, but they should still be inspected for signs of progressive wear. Given the 2019 tyre advisory, a prospective buyer should verify current tyre tread depth on all four wheels, confirming at least 1.6 mm across the tread surface and uniform wear patterns. Uneven rear wear can signal issues with rear suspension bushings, trailing arm mounts or rear axle alignment, so a test‑drive should include listening for clunking over bumps and feeling for any wandering or pull to one side at steady speed. Visual inspection of the rear suspension for cracked or leaking bushings and checking the condition of the rear anti‑roll bar links will help rule out latent problems that could re‑manifest as tyre wear. While the MOT history shows no brake or exhaust failures, the mileage suggests that brake pads and discs may be approaching the end of their service life. During a drive, the buyer should assess pedal feel for any sponginess, judder under firm braking, or unusual noises such as squeal or grinding, all of which point to pad or disc wear. A brief inspection of the brake discs for scoring and the pads for remaining thickness will provide a clearer picture of remaining service life and any imminent replacement requirements.
