2016 Audi A3 SE Technik TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · KX16 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 140,962 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating a current state of mechanical compliance. Following a failure in early 2021, the car has maintained a clean sheet through four consecutive inspections, suggesting that the current owner addresses previous issues and maintains the vehicle. The mileage data reflects high-intensity usage for a ten-year-old Audi A3, averaging an annual run of approximately 14,000 miles. The accumulation is steady and predictable across the record, showing a jump of 12,421 miles between November 2024 and December 2025, and another 12,419 miles in the preceding year. While high mileage often implies regular motorway use rather than short city trips, it inherently puts greater long-term strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to lower-mileage examples. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. While the 2019 test flagged multiple worn tyres and pitted front brake discs, the lack of recurring advisories in later tests suggests these have been replaced. However, given the 140,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension geometry, control arm bushes, and shock absorbers is essential. Checking for early signs of corrosion on the chassis is also necessary, as the MOT record does not highlight structural integrity issues to date.
