2020 Audi A3 S Line ED 1 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · YS70 OGN

A pattern of recent component wear and tyre damage defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 07 November 2025 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. The record indicates a period of instability in late 2024, where the vehicle failed on two major defects related to significant tyre damage, specifically cuts reaching the ply or cords on both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres. This was accompanied by an advisory regarding pitted or scored front inner brake discs, a condition that appears to have been addressed or has progressed to a state that no longer triggered an advisory by the 2025 inspection. The recorded mileage of 38,212 miles over approximately six years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,369 miles. This usage profile is consistent with lower-than-average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, which typically implies less frequent mechanical wear on high-friction components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking systems. However, the presence of tyre cuts and edge wear recorded in previous tests suggests that while the total distance travelled is relatively low, the vehicle has been subject to specific instances of impact or uneven tyre wear during its operation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. Given the 2024 advisory for pitted and scored front inner brake discs, it is essential to check for any signs of pedal judder or vibration under braking, which could indicate disc thickness variation or warping. Furthermore, while the 2025 test was clear, the history of tyre damage and edge wear warrants a close examination of the current tread patterns and sidewalls for any new cuts, bulges, or uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues or recent impact damage. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or irregular road noise that could stem from tyre irregularities, and monitor the steering for any pulling to one side. The previous advisory regarding the offside rear tyre being worn on the edge in 2023 suggests a potential for alignment-related wear, so ensuring the vehicle tracks straight under moderate braking and acceleration is a necessary step in verifying the current state of the suspension and steering geometry.
