2014 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · AF60 AUG

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT results indicate the onset of wear in the suspension system. In the October 2025 test at 54,513 miles, the tester flagged advisories for worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front wishbones. While these did not result in an immediate failure, they represent a shift from the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in distance, moving from 14,678 miles in October 2017 to the current 54,513 miles. This pattern suggests infrequent use, which often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized brakes due to inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. Given the advisories regarding the wishbone bushes in the 2025 test, the condition of the control arms and any potential play in the joints should be verified. Since the vehicle has spent much of its life covering low annual distances, checking for any signs of corrosion on the underside or uneven tyre wear caused by worn suspension components is a prudent step.
