2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · AB16 ADA

The 2016 Audi Q3 stands roadworthy per the DVSA record, with a passed MOT on 22 December 2025 at 46,187 miles and a stable maintenance trajectory across all prior examinations. That final pass coincided with a failed entry on the same day and identical mileage showing no defects, a procedural irregularity rather than a mechanical indictment. Recorded distances trace a gentle arc: 31,782 miles at the 7 January 2023 test, 36,346 miles by 15 December 2023, 40,599 miles on 14 December 2024, and 46,187 miles at the close of 2025. Annual accumulation averages near 4,600 miles, markedly low for a decade-old crossover. The sparse, defect-free ledger implies previous keepers adhered to statutory testing yet rarely stressed drivetrain or suspension components. Despite zero advisories for binding calipers, worn bushes or structural corrosion, a prospective owner must verify those areas physically. Low mileage combined with age invites dormant rust at sill seams and perished suspension isolators. The tester logged no exhaust emissions concerns, but inspect catalytic converter and flexible joints for age cracking. Tyre tread may read legal yet sidewalls could exhibit weathering from standing.
