2022 Audi A3 S Line Comp 45 Tfsi E SA 1.4L Hybrid electric · WGZ 6103

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 August 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards required by the DVSA. Given the clean nature of this result, the overall maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed necessary repairs before the inspection to ensure a seamless pass. The recorded mileage of 57,030 miles over approximately four years is significantly higher than the UK average, equating to roughly 14,258 miles per annum. Such high usage typically implies a greater degree of wear on primary consumables and mechanical components. Prospective buyers should be aware that this level of mileage accelerates the degradation of suspension bushes, engine mounts, and brake components compared to a lower-mileage example of the same age. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and drivetrain. Pay close attention to the brake discs for significant lipping or scoring and check the tyre treads for uneven wear, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension over uneven surfaces and feel for any shuddering under heavy braking, which would suggest warped discs. Given the vehicle is a plug-in hybrid, it is essential to verify the health of the high-voltage battery and ensure the charging equipment is fully functional. Review the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have been carried out at intervals appropriate for high-mileage usage rather than just following the longest possible manufacturer intervals. Finally, check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and ensure that all calendar-based fluid services, such as brake fluid and coolant flushes, have been completed to prevent internal corrosion.
