2016 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · DA14 BOR

The Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 December 2025 at 70,000 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 15 January 2025 at 64,650 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has cleared every successful examination without advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Mileage progression sits within typical bounds for a 2016 plate. The car covered 57,561 miles by 24 August 2023, rose to 59,280 by 15 February 2024, then reached 64,647 miles at the 15 January 2025 failure and 64,650 at the same-day pass, ending at 70,000 by December 2025. Annual use averaged near 7,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The sparse record shows no consumable wear flags across tyres, wiper blades, or bindings. A curious entry appears on 15 January 2025 where the tester logged a fail at 64,647 miles yet recorded no defects, followed immediately by a pass at 64,650 miles. This suggests an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Buyers should still confirm with the DVSA the reason for the failure code and verify the V5C aligns with the odometer. Given the absence of advisories on structural integrity, coil springs, or calipers throughout the history, the A3 reflects consistent upkeep by prior keepers. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless check underneath for early corrosion and measure brake disc wear, as clean MOTs do not capture wear between tests.
