AUDI Q32018 · 1.4L Petrol

The Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 26 March 2026 at 102,287 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 12 March 2025 at 90,905 miles and 26 March 2023 at 57,868 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its recorded history. Annual mileage averages around 12,786 miles, high for an eight-year-old 2018 model and indicating sustained motorway or commuter use rather than light local running. The records show consistent yearly accumulation: 17,866 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, then 15,171 miles to March 2025, and 11,382 miles to the 2026 test. A curious entry appears on 6 March 2024 at 75,734 miles where the vehicle failed with no defects recorded before passing on the same day, suggesting an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a genuine fault. The sparse MOT data gives no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across five years. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the drivetrain and front suspension arms given the high annual mileage, as worn components often escape MOT detection until significantly degraded. Previous owners kept the test schedule punctual and cleared each examination without flagged wear items, implying reasonable basic upkeep. The same-day fail and pass in March 2024 warrants a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect, but on the face of the DVSA record the Q3 stands as a mechanically sound used purchase.
