2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · RF16 WNJ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, passing its most recent inspection on 25 May 2026 at 85,471 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the latest advisory indicates a minor immediate requirement regarding the offside front tyre being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests that while the mechanical components are meeting safety standards, basic consumable items are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the 2025 test at 83,324 miles and the 2026 test at 85,471 miles, the car covered roughly 2,100 miles, indicating steady and regular usage. There is no evidence of long periods of neglect or sudden bursts of mileage that would typically accelerate the degradation of rubber components or strain the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system based on historical defects. The May 2024 test at 79,877 miles flagged light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber, which should be checked for active leaks to ensure the seal has not failed. Additionally, the pitting and scoring of brake discs noted in 2022 at 66,687 miles suggest the vehicle may have been subject to corrosion during stationary periods; verify the current state of all brake surfaces and pads. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre mentioned in the latest report also warrants a check of the wheel alignment to prevent premature wear of replacement tyres.
