2019 Audi A3 1.5L Petrol · YH68 KOS

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this 2019 Audi A3; four successive annual tests from 2023 to 2026 have all passed without recorded defects, and the only non‑passive entry dates back to the 2022 test where front‑tyre tread depth and a minor windscreen chip were noted as advisories. The absence of any subsequent failures suggests that the vehicle has maintained its core roadworthiness since that single advisory, with the latest 2026‑01‑22 pass confirming no new issues have been flagged. At 42,715 miles the car averages just over 6,000 miles per year, a mileage profile that sits squarely within normal usage for a seven‑year‑old compact executive. There are no gaps in the MOT chronology, indicating the vehicle has been kept on the road and subjected to regular testing throughout its life. This moderate annual accumulation means consumable wear items such as brakes, suspension bushings and drivetrain components are unlikely to be excessively aged, but they should still be inspected for typical mileage‑related degradation. Given the 2022 tyre advisories, a prospective buyer should verify the current tread depth on all four tyres, ensuring each meets the legal minimum of 1.6 mm and that the wear pattern remains even across the tread face. Look for signs of sidewall cracking, bulges or punctures, and listen for any humming or vibration at higher speeds that could indicate developing imbalance or internal tyre damage. During a test drive, pay attention to any pull to one side or a feeling of reduced grip when cornering, which would suggest that the front tyres may have been replaced unevenly or that alignment has drifted since the last advisory. The windscreen chip recorded in 2022 warrants a close visual inspection for any progression of the fracture, especially under varying light conditions. Check that the chip has not expanded into a spider‑crack or compromised the structural integrity of the glass, and verify that the surrounding seal remains intact to prevent water ingress. While driving, watch for any distortion in the driver’s line of sight or unusual wind noise that could hint at a compromised seal, and consider a professional repair or replacement if the damage appears to be growing.
