2020 Audi RS Q3 Vsprung Tfsi Quattro SA 2.5L Petrol · 5 KL

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 27 February 2026 showing a pass following a minor failure regarding headlamp aim. The failure was limited to the nearside and offside headlamp aim being too low, a non-mechanical adjustment issue that was rectified to achieve the pass. Aside from this single instance of incorrect beam alignment, the testing history from 2023 through to early 2026 shows no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable pattern of roadworthiness across all previous inspections. The recorded mileage of 24,749 miles against a 2020 registration suggests a low-usage profile, averaging approximately 4,125 miles per year. While this low annual accumulation typically implies less wear on high-friction components like brake pads, discs, and tyres, it also means the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average. Mechanically, such a pattern can sometimes result in less frequent operation of various moving parts, though the absence of any recorded defects or advisories in the MOT history suggests the vehicle has remained compliant despite this lower frequency of use. Given the lack of recorded mechanical defects, a test drive should focus on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted in any secondary issues related to infrequent use. While the MOT records do not flag any specific component failures, a buyer should pay close attention to the smoothness of the Quattro all-wheel-drive system and the responsiveness of the steering. Listen for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces, as these can sometimes manifest in vehicles that spend long periods stationary or are driven only on short, low-speed journeys. The recent headlamp aim failure is a specific point to note, though as it was corrected for the pass, it should not impact driving safety provided the alignment remains correct. During the evening or in low-light conditions, check that the beam pattern is even and does not dip excessively or wander, which would indicate the adjustment has slipped. Beyond this, as there are no advisories for brake pipes, suspension linkages, or fluid leaks in the DVSA history, the focus remains on ensuring the vehicle's high-performance components operate as expected without any signs of binding calipers or irregular pedal feel.
