2021 Audi Q3 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · WU71 BBV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-05 at 57,559 miles showed a passed result, but recurring brake and tyre issues indicate a worsening maintenance trend. Rear brake pads remained thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), and the rear disc was worn (1.1.14 (a) (i)), suggesting insufficient servicing. Tyre conditions from prior tests, including edge wear and cuts, reappeared, highlighting persistent neglect. Minor issues like a damaged windscreen and frayed seatbelt were noted but did not affect roadworthiness. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of ~11,500 miles, aligning with typical patterns for a five-year-old vehicle. The 2024-11-15 test at 45,149 miles revealed similar brake and tyre faults as the 2024-11-06 failure, with the latter recording multiple tyre defects, including cuts and nails. A one-week gap between the failed and passed 2024 tests suggests rapid remediation, but the recurrence of tyre issues implies ongoing maintenance challenges. Key areas for in-person inspection include the rear brake system for excessive wear or binding, tyre treads for uneven wear or damage, and the seatbelt webbing for integrity. The windscreen’s damage, though minor, should be checked for visibility impact. Structural corrosion or exhaust system integrity, not mentioned in MOT records, warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s history suggests prioritising brake and tyre maintenance, with potential risks to suspension components if uneven wear has occurred.
