2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · 31 AD

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a high pass rate and minimal recurring defects over the last seven years. Aside from a single failure in October 2024 due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring, the vehicle has maintained a stable testing profile, culminating in a clean pass on 2025-10-22. With 124,519 miles recorded over eleven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,320 miles per annum, which is typical for its age. This level of usage implies standard wear and tear on high-friction consumables and drivetrain components. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has remained in active use rather than suffering from periods of prolonged stagnation. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and suspension, as these are the only areas where defects have been noted. While the fractured rear coil spring was addressed for the 2024 pass, the accompanying advisory for thin rear brake pads and previous notes regarding worn front brake discs indicate a pattern of gradual wear in the braking assembly. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual knocks or thumps from the rear suspension when traversing uneven surfaces to ensure the replacement spring and surrounding linkages are performing correctly. The braking performance should be scrutinized for any signs of vibration or judder through the pedal, which could indicate uneven wear or warping of the discs previously flagged in 2020. A firm, consistent pedal response is essential, and any pulling to one side during deceleration should be noted. Given the mileage, checking for any play in the steering or suspension bushes is advisable to complement the MOT findings.
