2016 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · DC65 PPU

The 2016 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 73,744 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 73,744 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,374 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the model age. The DVSA entries show steady annual accumulation: 57,921 miles on 4 October 2022, 62,753 on 18 September 2023, 67,676 on 27 September 2024, and 73,744 on 12 September 2025. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is under twelve months. One anomaly appears on 27 September 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or procedural reversal rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of advisories across all five tests suggests previous owners addressed wear before it reached reporting thresholds. No corrosion, suspension bush degradation, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches were flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the vehicle's age. Verify the 2024 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Check tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition as consumables unseen by the MOT record.
