2023 Audi A3 S Line 40 Tfsi E S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · WP23 KBX

A stable roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, with the only recorded defect being a single major failure on 22 May 2026 due to a cut in the nearside front tyre reaching the ply or cords. This issue was resolved on the same day to secure a pass, and the absence of any other recorded advisories or defects suggests a consistent level of mechanical compliance with DVSA standards. The vehicle has covered 40,560 miles in approximately three years, averaging roughly 13,520 miles per year. This usage pattern is high for a vehicle of this age, which typically results in more rapid wear of consumables and chassis components. This level of accumulation means that components such as suspension bushings, brake pads, and drivetrain mounts have undergone significantly more stress and cycling than those on a lower-mileage example. Inspection should focus on the current state of the tyres, specifically checking for any further sidewall damage or uneven tread wear that might indicate alignment issues. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocks or rattles over speed bumps and uneven road surfaces, which would point toward wear in the suspension linkages or bushings. Attention should also be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no pedal judder or steering wheel vibration under deceleration, which can occur as brake discs wear. Given the hybrid nature of the 40 TFSI e, the transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine should be monitored for smoothness and the absence of unusual mechanical shudders.
