2016 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · KV66 CVF

The vehicle remains roadworthy having passed its most recent test on June 11, 2026 at 87,879 miles. While the car maintains a pass, the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of structural corrosion and suspension wear. Since the clean record in June 2023, the tester has consistently identified multiple points of corrosion across the undercarriage, indicating that the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation in its metal components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The record shows regular annual usage, with a gap of 5,041 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,479 miles leading up to the current test last month. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which explains the gradual wear on rubber components and the development of surface rust noted in the later entries. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and anti-roll bar, as the 2026 test flagged corrosion on these structural elements. The light misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber has persisted since June 2025, suggesting the seal is slowly failing and will eventually require replacement. Additionally, the recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2022, 2024, and 2026 indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires professional attention to prevent premature tyre failure.
