2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · OL55 FRY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 May 2025 at 83,095 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent clean sheet suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, ensuring that mechanical and structural components remain operating within acceptable parameters without triggering failures during the DVSA testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the November 2021 test at 41,375 miles and the May 2025 test at 83,095 miles, the car covered roughly 42,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. The jump of 17,866 miles between November 2022 and November 2023 shows a period of higher activity which helps prevent the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with long-term stationary vehicles. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults like binding calipers or worn suspension bushes, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls outside the MOT test scope. Given the mileage has surpassed 80,000 miles, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and check for any thinning of the rubber suspension components. Checking for early signs of oil leaks around the undercarriage is also prudent, as the MOT does not capture minor weeping seals until they reach a failure threshold.
