2015 Audi A3 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · WN15 YSR

The latest MOT on 8 January 2026 at 92,181 miles recorded a pass, with the tester noting rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. Earlier that same day a failure was logged for an off‑side rear tyre bulge and a near‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, both of which would have required replacement before the vehicle could be re‑tested. The record shows a shift from earlier years where tyre defects were sporadic to a cluster of tyre‑related failures in 2025 and 2026, indicating a deteriorating trend in tyre health while brake disc wear remains consistent but non‑critical. Mileage has risen from 31,813 miles in April 2018 to 92,181 miles in January 2026, averaging roughly 8‑12 k miles per annum. The jump from 31,813 to 44,178 miles between 2018 and 2019 reflects a typical yearly usage pattern, and subsequent increments of 3‑7 k miles per year suggest no prolonged periods of inactivity or unusually high mileage spikes. The steady accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s age, supporting the view that overall wear is in line with expectations for a 2015 model. A prospective buyer should inspect all four tyres for sidewall bulges, cuts or exposed ply, paying particular attention to the rear tyres that have repeatedly failed. Verify that the brake discs have not progressed beyond the pitted condition noted in successive tests, and check disc thickness if possible. Examine the front shock absorbers for oil leakage, as a light misting was recorded in 2023, and assess suspension bush wear and any signs of corrosion on the chassis. Confirm that any previously identified tyre defects have been remedied and that the braking system operates without vibration or pulling, ensuring the vehicle remains roadworthy beyond the MOT.
