2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Petrol · AV67 SWY

The Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 48,500 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 30 August 2023 at 40,792 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern and no recurring defects requiring corrective action. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2017 registration, totalling 48,500 miles or roughly 5,389 miles per year. The test on 27 August 2021 captured 24,833 miles, rising to 34,174 by 31 August 2022, then 40,790 at the failed test on 30 August 2023, and 48,500 by August 2025. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests covers two years with only 7,708 miles added, implying extended periods of standing. Low use combined with storage can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion on brake components despite clean MOT outcomes. The 30 August 2023 entry shows a fail immediately followed by a pass at near-identical mileage, 40,790 then 40,792, with no defects listed on either. This suggests an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, though the buyer should confirm with the selling garage what triggered the initial rejection. No advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear in any record. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify underbody condition for corrosion and check brake calipers for binding after the long static interval since 2023. Confirm the tyre sidewalls and wiper rubbers for age cracking, and validate the 2023 fail reason via DVSA portal. The clean history supports careful ownership, but standing time warrants hands-on checks the paper record cannot show.
