2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · AF16 RYM

The 2016 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 21,400 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 16,289 miles at the 5 November 2021 test to 21,400 miles by 5 November 2025, a total of 5,111 miles across four years or roughly 1,278 miles per annum. Annual increments stayed consistent and low, rising 1,943 miles between November 2022 and November 2023 then only 773 miles the following year. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the DVSA data, and the clean record gives no cause to suspect deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of items the MOT does not deeply probe on a pass. Low annual mileage and long stationary periods raise the risk of perished rubber suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs from moisture sitting unchecked. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, subframes, or exhaust emissions across the record, so structural integrity looks sound on paper. Given the absence of any flagged faults, previous owners appear to have stored and maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor advisories. Physical inspection should confirm underbody cleanliness, free-moving calipers, and tyre sidewall condition before purchase.
