2016 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · SW66 HSE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 75,216 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and emissions standards. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 72,829 miles, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle effectively over the last twelve months. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered 3,743 miles, which represents a period of lower usage. However, the mileage increased by 9,387 miles in the subsequent two years leading up to the 2026 test, showing a return to regular driving. The brief failure in October 2023 after just two miles, followed by a pass the following day, suggests the owner is attentive to addressing immediate mechanical requirements quickly. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should remain mindful of the vehicle's age despite the relatively low mileage. At 75,000 miles, components such as rubber suspension bushes and control arms may begin to show signs of perish or cracking rather than wear. A physical inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as the MOT record does not always surface minor structural integrity issues. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the latest tests, the brake discs and calipers should still be checked for surface pitting or uneven wear that a standard test might not fully capture.
