2019 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · WM19 CWD

The 2019 Audi A3 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 28 February 2026 at 52,474 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is a significant improvement over the previous test on 1 March 2025 at 45,137 miles, where the tester flagged four separate tyre defects including perishing on both rear tyres and a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. The fact that all four tyre issues were rectified before the 2026 test suggests the previous owner addressed the deterioration promptly rather than allowing it to persist. The vehicle has now passed its last two annual tests without any advisories or failures, indicating a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,496 miles per year. The intervals between tests show a steady progression from 24,122 miles in March 2022 through to 52,474 miles in February 2026, with no unusual gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance. The 7,337-mile increase between the 2025 and 2026 tests is slightly above the annual average but remains within a normal range for a vehicle in regular daily use. There are no suspicious mileage reversals or long dormant periods in the record. The recurring tyre wear pattern from the 2025 test is worth noting for any prospective buyer. Perishing on both rear tyres combined with uneven front edge wear on the nearside suggests the vehicle may have spent time on poorly maintained roads or developed minor alignment issues that were subsequently corrected. A buyer should inspect the current tyre condition carefully, checking for uneven tread wear, sidewall cracking, and confirming the tracking and wheel alignment are within specification. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should also be examined for wear, given that tyre wear patterns can point to underlying suspension geometry concerns. The brake discs and pads merit a visual check as well, since the clean 2026 pass does not guarantee components have significant remaining life. A brief road test will confirm whether the vehicle tracks straight and free of pulling under braking, which would verify that the earlier tyre-related concerns have been fully resolved.
