2016 Audi A3 2.0L Diesel · WV16 FTT

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the 13 May 2026 MOT, passing with rear brake disc wear and thin rear brake pads recorded. The recurring rear‑brake observations have persisted without escalation, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage has risen from 72,644 mi on 28 Feb 2022 to 114,222 mi on the latest test, averaging roughly 11,500 mi per year. This progression aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old 2016 Audi A3 and shows no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps. The incremental increases between each annual test – 3,769 mi to March 2023, 13,308 mi to May 2024, 12,417 mi to May 2025, and 12,084 mi to May 2026 – indicate consistent, moderate driving rather than periods of intensive mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear braking system. Verify that the disc surface is free of deep scoring and that pad thickness exceeds the minimum legal limit; any further thinning may soon require replacement. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, especially the front tyres flagged in 2025 and the rear tyre noted in 2024, as they were close to the legal minimum at those dates. Check the condition of the registration plate for legibility, and, while no suspension or structural advisories appear in the record, a visual examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and under‑body for corrosion will confirm the overall mechanical health.
