2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Petrol · AA17 SYA

The Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 July 2025 at 100,781 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 record shows a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on the same day, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Every prior annual test from October 2022 through August 2024 returned a clean pass with no advisories raised. The odometer climbed from 67,648 miles at the October 2022 test to 83,003 miles by October 2023, then to 94,703 miles in August 2024 and 100,781 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 11,200 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle and showing no abrupt accumulation spikes or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no recorded advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet MOT testing captures only roadside-visible defects. Inspect the front coil springs and lower suspension arms for micro-cracking, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and examine subframe mounting points for early corrosion given the vehicle's age and winter mileage exposure. The same-day fail and pass at 100,781 miles warrants confirmation that no genuine defect was suppressed through a retest loophole. Obtain the full DVSA test certificate and any garage invoices to verify the July 2025 outcome. Beyond that, the Q3's documented history supports a sound mechanical baseline with no escalating fault pattern.
