2021 Audi Q3 Sport 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · AO71 XCZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 35,773 miles, the tester identified two advisories that were absent in the previous year. The appearance of thin rear brake pads and a worn nearside front tyre suggests that consumable components are only being addressed as they approach the legal failure limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-to-moderate annual usage, averaging approximately 7,155 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 24,627 miles and the September 2025 test, the vehicle covered 11,146 miles. This specific interval shows a higher than average accumulation of mileage which explains the wear observed on components, though the clean record from the 2024 test confirms the vehicle was in a good state during that earlier period of operation. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the edge wear noted on the nearside front tyre in the 2025 test often points to misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes. The rear braking system requires a close look to determine if the pads are thinning evenly or if a caliper is sticking. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, verifying the condition of the remaining tyres and discs is essential to ensure the thin pads have not caused heat scoring or damage to the rotors.
