2015 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · WA15 NCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 10 July 2025. The maintenance trend shows a reactive but effective response to safety failures recorded just six days prior. The failure on 4 July 2025 at 86,982 miles identified nearside front and nears rear tyres with tread depths below the legal 1.6mm limit. The immediate pass following this report indicates that the owner was willing to address critical safety concerns quickly to maintain compliance. The recorded mileage of 86,982 miles over an eleven-year period averages to approximately 7,900 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage commuting, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive drivetrain or suspension stress. The identical mileage between the failure and the subsequent pass confirms that the car was not driven significantly between the tests, and the issue was strictly related to consumable wear rather than a mechanical failure under heavy load. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the remaining tyres to ensure the set has been replaced or shows even wear across the axle. Given the previous failure of the nearside tyres, a thorough check of the front suspension bushes and control arms is advisable to rule out uneven wear that might have caused premature tyre degradation. While the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical defects, the age of the vehicle warrants a check of the underside rust which is standard for an Audi of this era.
