2022 Audi A3 Sport 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · SY21 MBA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 27 September 2025 at 59,842 miles. However, the immediate maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed the test just one day prior at 59,835 miles due to a critical front tyre failure and worn brake pads on all axles. While these faults were addressed to secure the pass, the record suggests the owner only services mechanical components once they reach a legal failure threshold. At nearly 60,000 miles in four years, this Audi has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per annum, which exceeds the national average for its age. This high rate of use puts accelerated strain on consumable items and the suspension system. The narrow seven-mile gap between the failure and the pass shows that the repairs were performed specifically to meet the MOT requirements, but the rapid mileage accumulation means the vehicle will likely require further significant mechanical intervention in the coming months. A physical inspection must focus on the front shock absorbers, which were flagged for light oil misting on both sides in 2025. While misting is the earliest stage of failure, it should be monitored for signs of active leaking. The buyer should also verify the condition of the new brake components, as the record noted thin pads on all four wheels simultaneously. Given the previous failure for a nearside front tyre, a thorough check of the brand and age of all remaining tyres is essential to ensure no substandard replacements were used to clear the failure.
