2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · LC66 HXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure on that same day where the tester flagged the offside front tyre for having a tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. This issue was rectified immediately as the car passed the re-test shortly thereafter, with no recorded defects or advisories across the previous three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, recording only 15,351 miles in total. This averages to approximately 1,535 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 12,630 miles and June 2025 at 15,148 miles, the car covered just 2,518 miles, indicating long periods of stationary use. While this low usage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such long intervals of standing can lead to secondary issues like the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid chemical breakdown. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of age rather than mileage-related wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as they sit idle for months on such vehicles. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or perish, which occurs over time regardless of distance driven. Given the recent tyre failure, verify the manufacture date of all remaining tyres to ensure the rubber has not become-hard despite having sufficient tread depth.
