2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · FN66 TPU

The 2016 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 50,151 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old hatchback. The record shows 25,037 miles at the 23 September 2021 test, rising to 30,772 by 22 September 2022, 38,618 by 21 September 2023, 43,173 by 23 May 2024, and 50,151 by May 2025. That averages roughly 5,000 miles per year. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests stretched to eight months rather than twelve, yet mileage increased only 4,555 miles in that window. Low use of this kind often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop even when the car passes its test. No advisories or failures appear in any entry, so the history gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or structural rust. A clean sheet across five years does suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. Buyers should still arrange a physical inspection of brake discs for lip wear, suspension arms for cracked bushes, and underbody jacking points for corrosion, since the MOT record alone cannot confirm hidden deterioration on a low-mileage vehicle that may have spent extended time idle.
