2016 Audi A3 S Line TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · RXZ 202

The most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 showed a clean pass at 73,369 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. That result continues a pattern of three consecutive clean passes, so the maintenance trend is stable and there is nothing in the official record to suggest any structural, braking, or suspension concern at the time of testing. The mileage pattern is roughly consistent with a 2016 vehicle now a decade old. The car covered 12,427 miles between the November 2023 test at 48,292 miles and the March 2025 test at 60,719 miles, then 12,650 miles before the February 2026 pass at 73,369 miles. That works out to around 7,300 miles per year averaged across its life, with annual testing intervals showing no unusually long periods of standing or sudden high-mileage bursts. The record is sparse but clean, which points toward ordinary road use rather than heavy commuting or track work. Because no faults or advisories appear in the MOT history, the record itself does not identify any recurring component failures. For a 10-year-old TDI with 73,000 miles, the buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the rear calipers for binding, and look at brake disc condition and tyre wear patterns for uneven contact. A visual check for underbody corrosion is worthwhile, and confirming the diesel service schedule through independent paperwork remains important since the MOT does not cover fluid changes or timing-belt history. The MOT evidence is entirely positive, but it only reflects the condition on each test date rather than the ongoing mechanical state of the car today.
