2016 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · DX66 LGN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor age-related artwork failures. In the most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 42,733 miles, the car passed despite a worn offside rear suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure at the time, it indicates that the rubber components are beginning to degrade, following a period of clean records in the previous year. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,273 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 24,653 miles in 2021 to 42,733 miles by 2025. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but such low-distance driving can sometimes lead to the accelerated drying and cracking of suspension rubbers or the de-rating of brake surfaces if they are not used frequently. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension geometry, specifically checking the trailing arm bushes mentioned in the 2025 advisory to ensure the play has not worsened. Given the history of pitted front brake discs in 2023 and a worn nearside rear tyre in 2022, the current braking system should be evaluated for uneven wear or corrosion caused by the low mileage. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for sidewalling cracks, as this often affects vehicles of this age that sit for extended periods.
