2022 Audi A3 S Line 40 TDI Quattro S-A 2.0L Diesel · YR22 WBW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred consumable replacement. The most recent test in March 2026 at 46,283 miles passed, yet it flagged both the nearside and offside front inner tyres as reaching the legal limit with edge wear. This mirrors the issues found in March 2025, indicating that the owner consistently waits to replace tyres until they reach the point of failure or legal jeopardy. At 46,283 miles over four years, the Audi has averaged approximately 11,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a diesel motorcar. The mileage gap between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests is 10,408 miles, suggesting consistent and regular use. However, the immediate failure in March 2025 due to exposed ply and cords on the nearside front tyre suggests that the vehicle was driven under unsafe conditions for a period before being addressed during the inspection. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment, as the recurring edge wear on the front tyres often indicates out of camber tracking or worn control arm bushes. The deterioration of the rear registration plate noted in 2025 is a minor cosmetic failure but reflects a lack of general aesthetic upkeep. Given the Quattro system, the buyer should also check for any fluid leaks or uneven tyre wear to ensure that the neglect of tyre maintenance has not stressed the drivetrain components.
