2016 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · CE66 NRJ

The vehicle presents a stable profile of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 24 October 2022 at 40,073 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or that the mechanical and structural components have not reached a point of failure during the recorded inspection periods. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2019 test at 16,762 miles and the October 2022 test at 40,073 miles, the car covered 23,311 miles over three years. While the low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake components, the significant gap between the last test in late 2022 and the current date of June 2026 means the vehicle has gone nearly four years without a formal safety inspection, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage storage, such as checking for perished suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and seized brake calipers. Because the record shows no previous faults, the chassis should be inspected for surface rust or corrosion that can occur when sitting stationary. Given the elapsed time since the last MOT, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during the period of inactivity.
