2016 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · D9 CSM

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test, a pass recorded on 12 May 2025 at 81,247 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle clearing its final assessment cleanly after earlier administrative hiccups. No worsening mechanical faults emerge across the supplied history. Mileage sat at 64,523 miles in the October 2023 test, then rose to 71,964 miles by the May 2024 failure and 71,983 miles at the subsequent pass days later. The car covered roughly 9,264 miles in that window, then added 9,264 miles to reach 81,247 miles by May 2025. Annual use of about 8,125 miles tracks typical for a 2016 plate. The record is sparse but clean between pass and fail pairs, showing no rapid accumulation or long dormant gaps. The May 2024 and May 2025 entries show a fail and pass logged on identical dates and mileages with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests clerical or presentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The buyer should still confirm with the DVLA that the V5C and MOT certificate match the 81,247-mile pass and query the duplicate 12 May 2025 entries. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any test. Given the clean sheet, a pre-purchase check should nonetheless examine structural integrity underneath and measure brake caliper operation, as ten-year-old vehicles often hide binding calipers or minor subframe rust not caught in a basic MOT.
