2019 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · AE09 ANN

A recurring pattern of accelerated tyre wear and suspension concerns defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, including a dangerous failure in July 2022 due to insufficient front tread depth. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 17 July 2026, the record shows persistent advisories regarding front tyres worn on the inner edges and a historical tendency for the nearside front shock absorber to mist oil. This suggests a trend of consumables reaching their limit rapidly, particularly across the front axle. With 78,037 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,148 miles per year. This usage profile is typical for the age of the car, meaning that wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system is consistent with standard operational expectations. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has remained in active use. Attention must be paid to the front steering and suspension geometry, as the repeated flagging of inner-edge tyre wear across multiple years often points to misalignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any steering pull or instability at motorway speeds. The historical oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber should be physically inspected for active leaks, and the vehicle should be monitored for excessive bouncing or knocking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces. The braking system has seen consistent advisories for worn discs on both the front and rear axles in the most recent two years of testing. A prospective buyer should feel for any pedal judder or vibrations during deceleration, which can indicate disc warping or uneven wear. Given the current advisories for both front tyres and front brake discs from the July 2026 test, these components are nearing the end of their serviceable life and will likely require replacement to maintain optimal safety margins.
