Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a premium
Focus on verifying the full service history to ensure the 1.4L engine has been maintained, given the 108,401 miles on the clock. Check for evidence of timing belt or water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine at this mileage.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the vehicle's total mileage, which significantly exceeds the model average of 7,651 miles per year. Ensure all service intervals have been adhered to, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness, not mechanical maintenance.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher than diesel alternatives. Insurance groups for the A3 are generally mid-range, and annual tax will be based on the 2016 CO2 emissions bracket.
Typical maintenance costs for this model include periodic brake and suspension work. Given the mileage, buyers should budget for upcoming wear-and-tear items to keep the vehicle in its current testing condition.
Although this specific vehicle has no recorded defects in its MOT history, be mindful of common A3 failure points identified in aggregate data, specifically the anti-roll bar and brake components including pads and service brakes. Inspect the brake wear and suspension bushings during a test drive.
Additionally, examine the black paintwork for age-related wear and check the interior for wear consistent with 108,401 miles of use. Ensure the electrical systems are functioning correctly, as is standard for vehicles of this age.
This black 2016 Audi A3 1.4 petrol has covered 108,401 miles, which is notably above the model average. Its MOT history from 2022 to 2025 is exceptionally clean, with only one failure in 2024 that was rectified within 24 hours. It represents a high-mileage example of a model with a general aggregate pass rate of 82.2%.
The Audi A3 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 82.2%, with common issues typically centering on suspension and braking systems.
