2016 Audi RS3 2.5L Petrol · CB03 CAD

This Audi RS3 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 69,928 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,993 miles per year. Use has increased slightly in recent years, with the distance rising from 34,597 miles in January 2022 to 69,928 miles by January 2026. The gap between the January 2024 test at 48,795 miles and the January 2025 test at 61,684 miles shows a peak usage period of nearly 13,000 miles in one year, yet the vehicle maintained its clean MOT record throughout this increase. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion is rare for a vehicle of this age and performance bracket. While the MOT history is flawless, a buyer should still verify the service intervals for the Haldex system and DSG gearbox, as these critical drivetrain components are not specifically scrutinised during a standard MOT test. Physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre treads and brake pad thickness to ensure consumables are current. Given the lack of structural flags in the DVSA data, a visual check for underbody corrosion and a review of the stamped service book will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean testing record.
