2016 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · KX16 AFK

The 2016 Audi A3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 2 February 2026 at 96,436 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from 31 January 2022 through to the 2026 examination, the vehicle cleared every inspection without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record signals consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns over the four-year window. Annual mileage sat close to typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The 2022 test at 62,074 miles rose to 68,425 by February 2023, then 75,729 in January 2024, 81,859 in January 2025, and 96,436 in February 2026. The jump between the 2025 and 2026 entries added 14,577 miles in roughly twelve months, above the earlier ~6,000 to 7,000 mile yearly pace. The record itself stays sparse and clean, with no gaps longer than thirteen months between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions faults at any stage, yet annual checks capture only test-day condition. Prior owners clearly kept basic consumables and structural integrity in order, but standing intervals or hidden intermittent faults will not surface on a pass certificate. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity for rust, front suspension arm bushes, and rear brake calipers for binding after a road test. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition, though none drew advisories. The documented history implies disciplined servicing, but confirming drivetrain noise and steering play in person remains sound practice at 96,436 miles.
