2021 AUDI Q3 S LN BLK ED 35 TFSI MHEV SA1.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 60,159 miles passed, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and perishing rubber on both rear tyres. This follows a pattern seen in February 2025 at 49,846 miles, where the front tyres were worn to the legal limit and the rears showed early degradation. This progression suggests the previous owner is reacting to faults only during MOT inspections rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 60,159 miles over five years, the Audi has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per annum. This sits slightly above the national average for a modern SUV, placing higher stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The mileage accumulation between the March 2024 and February 2025 tests was over 10,000 miles, indicating consistent high-frequency use. The single failure in March 2024 due to a low headlamp aim was a minor adjustment issue that does not indicate deeper mechanical failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The recurring reports of thin pads and worn edges suggest the front suspension geometry may require checking, or that the calipers are sticking and causing uneven wear. The cracking and perishing on the rear tyres noted in two consecutive years indicate the rubber compound is failing due to age or environmental exposure, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of premature wear, as these components often begin to degrade around the 60,000-mile mark.
