2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · D22 RAC

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthiness status of Pass, as the 2026-06-18 test at 82,239 miles passed with no recorded defects. However, the MOT history indicates a deteriorating maintenance trend, specifically concerning the rear suspension and brake components. The 2023-03-27 test at 52,450 miles flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, while the 2022-03-28 test at 43,577 miles flagged a similar issue with rear tyre wear on the edge. This progression suggests a lack of adequate upkeep, as the tyre wear has accelerated over the past two years, creating a structural risk that requires immediate attention. The mileage accumulation is relatively stable but concerning given the vehicle's age. The 2026-03-30 test at 82,239 miles passed, and the 2025-03-21 test at 71,443 miles also passed, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness for approximately nine years. However, the record shows rapid mileage growth, with the 2024-03-27 test at 61,098 miles and the 2023-03-27 test at 52,450 miles both passing. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven for a long period without the necessary maintenance, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as suspension bushings and brake discs. Given the accelerating rear tyre wear and the structural integrity risks associated with the brake and suspension systems, the vehicle does not meet the standard roadworthiness requirements for safe driving. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers in person to determine if the wear is within acceptable limits or if the vehicle requires further work. The current roadworthiness status is Pass, but the history indicates a worsening trend that necessitates a formal inspection by a qualified mechanic to confirm the condition of the rear suspension and brakes before any further mileage is permitted.
