2015 Audi Q3 2.5L Petrol · HV65 YOC

The 2015 Audi Q3 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years, with all recent MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent test on 2026-01-27 confirms no outstanding issues, though the record does include an anomalous double entry on 2024-02-07—one pass and one fail with no defects noted—which suggests either a clerical error or a brief, unrecorded mechanical check. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the available history, indicating the vehicle has avoided major mechanical or structural failures during its last three annual tests. The mileage progression of 72,634 miles over 11 years averages around 6,600 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical usage for this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in the record, though the span between the 2023 and 2024 tests is unusually short—just six months—suggesting either a pre-sale check or an owner prioritising regular servicing. The lack of mileage spikes or extended periods of inactivity also implies the vehicle has been driven regularly, which may have helped mitigate excessive wear on suspension bushes or drivetrain components. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension geometry and alignment, particularly the rear subframe and bushings, which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The absence of advisories does not preclude gradual wear—check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate binding rear calipers or worn coil springs. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, as Audi Q3s from this era are prone to rust progression in wet conditions. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as catalytic converter failures or oxygen sensor issues are occasionally overlooked until they trigger emissions-related failures. The double MOT entry in 2024 warrants confirmation that no unrecorded work was deferred.
