2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · AD16 FCV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 June 2025 at 58,601 miles shows the car passing with no defects or advisories. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, indicating that the vehicle is maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without the recurring mechanical or structural failures often seen in older luxury SUVs. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,860 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 4,913 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 2,380 miles between 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the single failure recorded on 17 May 2022 at 43,290 miles indicates a specific issue that was rectified immediately to allow a successful pass. While the electronic record is exemplary, the low-mileage nature of the car can lead to dry rot in rubber components like suspension bushes and aged tyres if the vehicle has sat for long periods. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the calipers from staying clean. Given the age of the Audi, checking the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the control arm bushings is prudent, as these parts degrade over time regardless of the low mileage.
