2016 Audi A3 1.6L Diesel · YD66 CTZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The October 2025 test at 98,708 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, following a similarly clean pass in October 2024 at 93,909 miles. This recent trend suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues appearing in the latest two annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 9,871 miles per year, which represents steady, predictable use rather than excessive motorway mileage or long periods of inactivity. Between August 2021 and October 2022, the mileage increased from 66,770 to 78,821, showing a consistent annual progression. The current reading of 98,708 miles aligns with this established pattern of regular driving. The historical record shows minor consumable issues that have been addressed. In August 2019, the tester noted rear tyres starting to perish, and in August 2020, the record flagged a slight lip on the front brake discs alongside windscreen stone chips. These are standard wear-and-tear items for a vehicle of this age. A single failure occurred in October 2022 due to a non-functioning offside rear stop lamp, but this was rectified during the same session to achieve a pass. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres to ensure the current condition matches the clean MOT certificates. Given the 2020 advisory regarding brake disc wear, checking the remaining thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads is advisable. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion in the recent years is a positive indicator of the vehicle's structural integrity.
