2016 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · WN16 XOW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 65,757 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates an improvement in maintenance standards compared to early 2024, where several mechanical issues were noted. The clean results from the last two tests suggest that the current owner has addressed previous concerns and is maintaining the car to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. There is a notable gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests where the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by a more rapid increase of 18,350 miles between 2024 and 2026. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The February 2024 test at 47,407 miles flagged all four brake discs as pitted or scored, which was likely rectified before the subsequent tests. An inspector should verify the current condition of the discs and pads for uneven wear. Additionally, the recurring history of tyres reaching the legal limit in 2019, 2020, and 2022 suggests a pattern of replacing consumables only when they fail inspection. Check for uneven tyre wear on the current set to ensure the suspension geometry remains aligned.
