2016 Audi Q3 S Line + TDI Quattro S-A 2.0L Heavy oil · YJZ 5013

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 1 May 2026 with no defects recorded. Based on the historical data, the maintenance trend appears stable and is currently improving. While the 2023 and 2024 inspections highlighted several advisories and minor defects, the subsequent clean passes in 2025 and 2026 indicate that the owner has likely rectified these issues, returning the vehicle to a high standard of roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 82,550 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,255 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age and class, suggesting it has not suffered from the degradation associated with prolonged standing nor the excessive wear found in high-mileage examples. Mechanical wear on the drivetrain and chassis should be consistent with moderate use, though standard replacement intervals for consumables will be approaching. Prospective buyers should specifically verify the resolution of the 2024 brake advisories. The records previously noted pitted and scored rear brake discs along with thin brake pads. During a test drive, pay close attention to any brake shudder or grinding noises from the rear axle, and verify that the braking effort is linear and consistent. Additionally, the 2024 report mentioned mismatched tyre sizes across the axles. Ensure that all current tyres are of the correct manufacturer specification and size, as mismatched tyres can negatively impact the vehicle's handling and electronic stability control systems. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to check for perishing or corrosion. The previously noted windscreen damage should be inspected to ensure it has been repaired or replaced and does not obstruct the driver's field of vision. Finally, ensure the service history is fully documented with stamps or invoices, paying particular attention to calendar-based fluid changes such as the engine oil and coolant, as well as the health of the 12V battery, which may be nearing the end of its natural service life.
