2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · AF16 TYZ

The 2016 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 60,283 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 February 2025 at 58,163 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared consecutive annual examinations without advisories or faults. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,028 miles per year against the car's ten-year life, reflecting light use. The records show a tight, consistent accumulation: 50,891 miles in January 2023, 55,080 in February 2024, 58,163 in February 2025, and 60,283 by January 2026. The only anomaly is the 3 February 2025 failure logged at 58,163 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on 4 February 2025 at identical mileage, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across the full five-year MOT span, the history implies the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided worn tyres, degraded suspension bushes, or corroding structural members. No recurring brake, exhaust emission, or coil spring issues appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess, such as brake disc thickness, suspension arm condition, and underbody corrosion. The clean record offers reassurance, but low annual use can mask perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from standing periods that a static test may not reveal.
