2021 Audi Q3 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · R44 TBA

With only three MOT tests recorded since first registration and a clean pass at every examination, including the most recent assessment on 1 December 2025, this Audi Q3 presents an unblemished official roadworthiness record. There are no advisories, no failures, and no defect entries logged against the vehicle across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. While MOT history alone cannot confirm mechanical soundness or maintenance standards, the absence of any flagged wear items or component deterioration on a vehicle now four years past its first test is a neutral but noteworthy data point. The lack of any recorded advisories means there is no documented pattern of component wear to scrutinise, and no outstanding items identified by previous examiners that might warrant immediate attention. The recorded mileage of 38,950 miles against an approximate five-year age equates to around 7,790 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this class and age, sitting close to the average annual accumulation for a privately used family SUV. There are no significant gaps in testing history, with the first MOT completed in November 2023, two years after registration, and subsequent tests following at consistent twelve-month intervals. The mileage progression between tests appears steady, indicating regular rather than sporadic use. This level of usage is generally sufficient to keep mechanical components, brake systems, and drivetrain lubricants working through their intended operational cycles, while not being so high as to imply excessive wear on major assemblies. Given the absence of any specific advisories or failure items in the MOT record, there is no narrow component focus dictated by the test history. A prospective buyer should nevertheless carry out a standard roadworthiness appraisal appropriate to a premium SUV of this age and mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension system, including the front wishbones, anti-roll bar links, and rear coil springs, as these are common wear items on the Q3 platform and would typically begin to show signs of deterioration within this mileage band. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, and feel for vagueness or imprecision through the steering, which can indicate worn drop links or track rod ends. The braking system should be evaluated for smooth operation, with any vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal under firm pressure suggesting warped front discs, a known issue on heavier SUV platforms when subjected to repeated urban stop-start use. The turbocharged 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine should be observed from cold start for any excessive smoke, unusual rattling from the timing chain area, or irregular idle, and during the road test the transmission should change smoothly through all gears without hesitation or shunt. Given the typical urban and suburban usage implied by the recorded mileage, particular care should be taken to inspect the underside and wheel arch liners for any road salt accumulation or early signs of corrosion around suspension mounting areas, even though nothing of this nature has yet been recorded. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent specialist familiar with the MQB platform would be a sensible precaution to confirm the condition of items not visible during a standard MOT examination.
