AUDI Q3 SPORT 35 TFSI2020 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 41,377 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a significant period of reactive ownership during late 2025. While the most recent test indicates no defects, the preceding failure in September 2025 highlights a lapse in basic upkeep. The transition from failure to pass suggests the previous owner only addressed critical issues when forced by the testing process rather than following a preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 8,641 miles between the August 2023 test at 22,050 miles and the September 2024 test at 30,691 miles, followed by another 8,501 miles leading to the September 2025 failure. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is generally better for engine seals and brake components than long-term periods of inactivity. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the braking system, as the September 2025 failure flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. Although these were likely replaced before the March 2026 pass, the brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or scoring caused by running the pads low. The previous failure of the offside front tyre with exposed cords indicates a past disregard for tyre safety, so the remaining tread and age of all four tyres must be verified. The windscreen wiper blades, which were flagged for streaking in 2024 and failing in 2025, should be tested to ensure they provide adequate visibility.
