2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · FP16 NRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 95,038 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a three-year period of clean passes between 2022 and 2025. However, the most recent test introduced an advisory regarding a rear brake disc that is worn and pitted. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of a component cycle that will require attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 60,882 miles and February 2026 at 95,038 miles, the car covered 34,156 miles, showing a steady rate of use. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary de-use, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals, gaskets, and mechanical components within the Audi's drivetrain system. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2022 test flagged thin nearside front pads and low front tyres, while the 2026 test noted the scored rear disc. This progression suggests the braking hardware is now reaching a stage where comprehensive replacement may be imminent. Check the remaining life on all pads and inspect the calipers for signs of seizing. Given the mileage is approaching 100,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes is advisable, as these components often degrade at this interval.
