2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · BJ16 OTP

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent passing result, though the most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 104,528 miles indicates a lapse in consumable upkeep. The tester flagged the nearside rear inner tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and recommended an immediate change. While the vehicle passed, this advisory suggests that basic maintenance items like tyre tread and alignment may not be monitored closely by the current owner. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,453 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 74,414 miles in October 2022 to 104,528 miles in July 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, and the annual mileage remains within the typical range for a 2016 Audi Q3, suggesting regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The October 2023 test at 89,068 miles initially failed due to deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers on both the nearside front and offside front. Although this was rectified, a buyer should check for any subsequent play in the suspension components or noise from the anti-roll bar assembly. The October 2022 test at 74,414 miles highlighted significant wear on both front and rear brake discs and pads. While the 2024 and 2025 tests show no further brake defects, the history of pitted or scored discs suggests the braking system has undergone heavy use. Beyond the recorded faults, the recent tyre advisory warrants a thorough check of the remaining tyre tread depths and the condition of the wheel arches for uneven wear. Given the previous issues with anti-roll bar components and brake wear, a detailed inspection of the underside for any signs of bushing degradation or fluid leaks from the suspension struts would be prudent to ensure no further mechanical deterioration has occurred since the last recorded failures.
