2016 Audi A3 Sport TDI 1.6L Heavy oil · HR02 ADM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 12 May 2025 at 120,144 miles. This most recent test indicates that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards without recorded defects. While a failure occurred in early March 2024, the immediate retest pass two days later suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist between inspections. At 120,144 miles over 12 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns perfectly with typical UK usage for a diesel-powered hatchback. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 12,000-mile interval between December 2022 and March 2024, followed by roughly 13,000 miles covered between March 2024 and May 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often prevents the degradation of engine seals and fuel systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the March 2024 failure at 107,200 miles to ensure the repair was not a temporary fix. Given the mileage and age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these are common points of wear on this chassis. The buyer should also look for signs of corrosion on the exhaust heat shield and structural integrity points, as high-mileage diesel engines can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and mounting hardware.
