2014 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SR63 ANJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 115,198 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from recorded leaks to a clean test sheet suggests that the current owner has responded to mechanical concerns that were flagged during the 2024 inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. There is a significant increase in usage between March 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered 24,672 miles in just thirteen months. This period of heavy use likely correlates with the appearance of the oil leak and misting shock absorbers noted in 2024. While the overall mileage is typical for the age, the high-mileage interval puts accelerated stress on rubber-based components and engine seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay regarding the oil leaks noted in the 2023 and 2024 tests. While the 2026 report shows no defects, the recurring nature of these leaks indicates that gaskets or seals may require close monitoring for ongoing seepage. The front shock absorbers should also be checked for renewed fluid leakage, as the misting reported at 113,879 miles often precedes seal failure. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts is advisable to ensure no structural wear has developed since the last clean test.
