2022 Audi A3 Sport 40 Tfsi E S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric · YB22 AFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 21 July 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a recurring pattern of minor physical damage to wheel-related components rather than mechanical failure. While the car passed without major defects, the presence of a cut nearside front tyre and a slightly distorted nearside rear inner road wheel suggests a history of curb strikes or significant road impacts that have not yet been fully rectified. At 64,808 miles over just four years, this Audi has covered approximately 16,200 miles per year, which significantly exceeds the national average for a petrol car. The interval between the July 2025 test at 52,456 miles and the July 2026 test shows an accumulation of over 12,000 miles. This high usage rate places accelerated wear on consumables such as brake pads, suspension bushings, and tyre components compared to lower-mile examples. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the light misting of oil noted in 2025 may indicate the beginning of a seal failure that should be monitored for progression. The recurring damage to tyres and the wheel necessitates a thorough check for uneven tyre wear or bent steering arms resulting from the reported impacts. Given the high mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs for thinning or pitting is also essential to ensure the high-frequency use has not led to premature degradation of the braking system.
