2018 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · T6 RYK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test in December 2025 at 49,303 miles passed, yet it noted an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn near the legal limit with edge wear. This mirrors a failure from the previous year regarding both front tyres, suggesting that the owner only addresses critical consumable items once they threaten an MOT failure. At 49,303 miles over eight years, the Audi has averaged approximately 6,163 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a personal vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between August 2023 and December 2024, and another 4,600 miles followed by December 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of edge wear on front tyres across multiple tests suggest potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The record also flagged thin front brake pads in August 2023 at 37,585 miles, so a physical check of the remaining pad life and disc condition is necessary to ensure they have been replaced recently. Additionally, the failure of the windscreen washer system in 2024 and the headlamp condition noted in 2022 warrant an immediate test of the washer pump and lens clarity to ensure visibility remains optimal.
