2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · LS66 XAM

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 4 December 2025 at 114,148 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean sheet followed a same-day retest for a single minor failure, an offside rear seat belt buckle not functioning as intended, which was promptly rectified. The trajectory over the preceding two years shows a clear move from repeated minor advisories toward a fully compliant outcome, suggesting attentive recent ownership. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 11,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 102,107 miles in December 2023 to 108,479 miles in December 2024, then to 114,148 miles by December 2025, indicating regular use without sudden spikes or suspicious gaps. The MOT history is complete and consecutive across the three most recent cycles, providing a reliable data set for evaluation. The most persistent theme in the record is brake disc wear. In December 2023, the tester flagged both rear brake discs as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. The same rear brake disc advisory appeared again in the December 2024 test, this time joined by a similar advisory on the front brake discs. By the December 2025 test, no brake defects were recorded, implying the discs and pads were replaced or the surfaces were within tolerance at that point. A buyer should still inspect the current condition of all four brake discs and pads in person, checking for lipping, scoring, and uneven wear that could indicate binding calipers or a dragging handbrake mechanism on the rear axle. Beyond the braking system, the December 2023 failure flagged an offside wiper blade and a nearside front tyre below the 1.6mm legal tread depth, both consumable items that were evidently replaced before the next test. The seat belt buckle defect from December 2025 was minor and fixed the same day. No structural corrosion, suspension faults, or exhaust emissions failures appear anywhere in the record. A buyer should still examine the underside for rust, check all suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and verify the operation of every seat belt buckle, as these items are not always visible in a documentary record.
