2020 Audi A3 Sport 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · WR70 KPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in April 2026, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT attempt at 43,281 miles failed due to a structural bulge in the nearside rear inner tyre and a screw embedded in the offside front tyre, alongside a missing dust cover on a brake caliper bleed nipple. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass, they indicate the owner only addressed safety faults after a formal inspection failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 22,205 miles and the May 2024 test at 27,745 miles, the car covered roughly 5,500 miles, suggesting a steady usage profile. The low cumulative mileage generally implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to dry rot of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the April 2025 test at 36,959 miles flagged the front inner brake discs as worn and pitted. Despite the low mileage, surface corrosion often occurs from infrequent use, which can accelerate disc thinning and cause vibration. The recent failure regarding tyre structural damage also necessitates a thorough check of all remaining tyres for sidewall bul or uneven wear patterns that the tester missed. Additionally, verify the brake caliper assembly to ensure the missing dust cover has not led to moisture ingress or corrosion of the bleed nipple.
