2013 Audi Q3 2.0L Petrol · AY63 VGT

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025, recording 88,786 miles with zero defects. This is a strong indicator that the car is currently roadworthy and has been maintained to a reasonable standard in the immediate past. Looking at the full history, the maintenance trend is broadly stable and recently improving. After a period of minor advisories in 2022 and 2023, the 2025 pass with no faults suggests the previous owner addressed those issues promptly. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. Between the 2022 test at 81,132 miles and the 2025 test at 88,786 miles, the vehicle covered 7,654 miles over roughly three years, averaging approximately 2,550 miles per year during that period. This is notably lower than the overall lifetime average of around 6,830 miles per year, indicating the car has seen lighter recent use or possibly spent extended periods stationary. There is a gap in the record between 2023 and 2025, which could reflect a period of very light use or a lapsed MOT, but the clean pass in 2025 confirms it was brought back into a compliant state. The 2023 test flagged front tyres close to the wear bars and perished rear tyres, while the 2022 test noted rear brake pads wearing thin. These are consumable items and not structural concerns, but a prospective buyer should still inspect the current tyre condition carefully, checking for sidewall cracking, uneven tread depth, and date codes to confirm they have been replaced since 2023. The rear braking system deserves a closer look as well. Have a technician measure the remaining pad thickness and check the rear discs for scoring or lipping, and confirm the calipers are not binding, as that was a recurring theme in the earlier record. Beyond these flagged items, pay attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, which on a thirteen-year-old Q3 of this mileage can develop play or corrosion, particularly around the front lower arms and rear trailing arms. A thorough underbody inspection for structural rust is advisable, as Audi Q3 models of this generation can be prone to corrosion around the sills, subframes, and wheel arches if not regularly undersealed.
