2016 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · FG02 BEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 August 2025 at 83,552 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of instability in 2024. While the car struggled with minor failures related to lighting and consumable wear previously, the latest clean test result indicates that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and electrical issues flagged in earlier inspections. Mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,355 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2020 at 32,193 miles and February 2021 at 41,993 miles, where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in thirteen months. Since then, the accumulation has slowed to a steady pace, adding roughly 8,000 miles per annual interval. This consistent use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which explains the degradation of metal and rubber components seen in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the rear brake discs showed a recurring trend of pitting and scoring dating back to 2021 at 41,993 miles. Although these were noted as not seriously weakened, the persistence of this fault across multiple years suggests either high levels of corrosion or infrequent binding in the calipers. The history also highlights recurring issues with tyre perishing and uneven wear between 2021 and 2024, necessitating a physical inspection of the current tyre depth and sidewall integrity to ensure no alignment issues are present.
