2016 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · YY66 AJV

The 2016 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 1 October 2025 at 81,146 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with four passes across the prior five years and a single administrative failure on 23 September 2025 at 80,913 miles that carried no recorded defects, suggesting a documentation or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or structural concerns appear anywhere in the DVSA history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,115 miles against a ten-year life, which is typical for the age. The record shows steady accumulation: 55,398 miles in September 2022, 66,338 by August 2023, 74,172 in September 2024, and 80,913 to 81,146 across the two 2025 tests. The gap between the August 2023 and September 2024 entries is the widest at just over thirteen months, but the increment of 7,834 miles is consistent with prior years. The data is sparse and clean, with no consumable wear items or mechanical faults ever flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories does not preclude worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs that a tester may simply have omitted at low-mileage intervals. Verify the brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or uneven wear would not surface without a defect being raised. Check underneath for structural integrity and exhaust emissions integrity at cold start, given the car's mixed use pattern. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the 2025 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation the logbook and test certificate match before purchase.
