2016 Audi A3 2.0L Petrol · OV16 WWE

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 July 2025 at 61,816 miles passed with a single minor advisory for a corroded nearside rear coil spring. This indicates the onset of minor component degradation that has not yet reached a point of failure, but it suggests the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age that require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,182 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 10,825 miles between the April 2021 test at 40,946 miles and the May 2022 test at 51,771 miles, after which the accumulation slowed to a more steady rate of roughly 3,000 miles per annum. This low annual mileage implies that the drivetrain and engine components have experienced less thermal stress and mechanical wear compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension to address the reported corrosion on the coil springs. Since only the nearside spring was flagged, the tester should also examine the offside equivalent and shock absorbers for similar wear or structural fractures. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to check for rubber perish on tyres and suspension bushings, as components can degrade through time even when the vehicle is not being driven frequently.
