2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · KV17 AAO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred minor-level repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 54,226 miles identified a perishing nearside rear tyre and a pitted, scored rear brake disc. While the vehicle passed, these entries indicate a departure from the clean records seen in 2024, suggesting that component wear is now being addressed as it approaches failure thresholds during inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. A gap exists between March 2022 and February 2023 where the car covered only 6,030 miles, followed by a more consistent accumulation of 9,567 miles between February 2024 and November 2025. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, but it often explains the degradation of rubber components like the tyres noted in the history. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a recurring issue with perishing, cracking, and uneven wear stretching from 2022 to 2025. The mention of the offside rear tyre reaching the legal limit in multiple tests suggests potential alignment issues or suspension geometry that needs verifying. Furthermore, the pitted rear brake disc identified in the 2025 test requires a physical check to ensure the calipers are functioning correctly and not seized, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
