2016 AUDI A31.6L Diesel

The most recent MOT, carried out on 17 July 2025 at 92,686 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This continues a stable trend across the full DVSA record: four consecutive annual passes from 2022 through 2025, none of which produced a single advisory. For a ten-year-old Audi A3, that is a positive result. The vehicle has met the minimum roadworthiness threshold without any flagged mechanical or structural failings. The mileage pattern is evenly spread and consistent with typical use. The car recorded 67,540 miles in the July 2022 test, 75,812 miles in July 2023, 84,631 miles in July 2024, and 92,686 miles in July 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,800 miles between each annual test, against an overall average of about 9,269 miles per year for a ten-year-old vehicle. No unusual gaps or sudden bursts of mileage appear; the car has evidently been used steadily rather than stored or hammered. With no recurring advisories in the record, there is no specific fault trend to track. A fault-free MOT does not, however, vouch for the condition of wear items that were still within legal limits at the time of testing. On a 92,686-mile car, a buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related wear, check the brake discs and pads for lip wear or uneven contact, and look for binding calipers on the rear axle. Check the tyres for tread depth and sidewall cracking, and examine the underbody and sills for surface corrosion, which the MOT history has not flagged but which can develop gradually. The record implies previous owners did not dispute routine upkeep, at least not to the point of presenting the car with obvious failings. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories across four years is a good baseline. Buyers should still obtain the physical service history, because the MOT record says nothing about oil changes, timing belts, or fluid condition, and an independent pre-purchase inspection remains the most reliable way to confirm the vehicle's true condition.
