2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · S118 HAN

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding braking components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 77,208 miles shows the car passing despite multiple advisories for corroded, pitted brake discs and thinning rear pads. While the vehicle consistently passes, the recurring nature of these surface defects across all four axles suggests that the previous owners only addressed components when they approached failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 77,208 miles, this 11-year-old Audi Q3 has covered a low average of approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles recorded between each November inspection from 2021 to 2025. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway use, which explains the high levels of corrosion on metal surfaces and perishing of rubber components noted in the later records. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record flags pitted and scored discs in every single test since 2021. The tester also noted worn suspension arm bushes in the 2022 test at 56,703 miles, which should be checked for play as these can affect handling precision. Additionally, the November 2025 advisory regarding cracking and perishing rear tyres indicates that the rubber is reaching the end of its life due to age despite the low tread depth. The windscreen damage noted in 2023 also requires verification to ensure the crack does not spread and degrade the structural integrity of the glass.
