2016 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · WV16 FTP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass on 6 November 2025 at 24,766 miles. The mechanical trend appears stable and improving, as the last three consecutive tests in March 2025, March 2024, and November 2025 resulted in passes with zero recorded defects or advisories. This recent run of clean results suggests the owner addressed previous issues effectively, moving away from the wear-related warnings noted in earlier years. Usage is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging just 2,477 miles annually. The odometer progression from 19,475 miles in March 2022 to 24,766 miles in November 2025 confirms consistent but minimal annual increments of roughly 1,400 to 2,400 miles per year. Such low mileage often indicates the car has spent significant time stationary, which can cause rubber components to degrade through age rather than wear. The March 2023 test at 20,300 miles flagged all four tyres for slight cracking or perishing due to age, alongside a deteriorated registration plate. While these items were evidently replaced before the subsequent 2024 check, a buyer must verify the current tyre production date codes to ensure fresh rubber was fitted rather than just temporary repairs. Inspect the interior seat belts and rear mounting points thoroughly, as the 2023 tester noted a child seat obstructed the full inspection of the nearside rear adult belt.
