Our Verdict
Caution is advised; while the vehicle has low mileage for its age, the MOT history shows recurring suspension and tyre maintenance issues. It is a viable purchase only if recent mechanical work is thoroughly verified.
When inspecting this Q3, focus heavily on the front suspension. The history shows both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes were found excessively worn in early 2025. Ensure these have been replaced with high-quality parts and check for any remaining clunking noises during a test drive. You should also ask for proof of recent tyre replacements, as multiple tests flagged tyres for damage, wear, and perishing.
Check the service history specifically for the 1.4L petrol engine. Given the low mileage, ensure the car has been serviced on time intervals rather than just mileage. Pay attention to the brake condition, as previous records have noted pitted and scored rear discs. If the tyres are brand new, ensure they are properly aligned, as uneven wear could be a sign of tracking or suspension issues.
The 1395cc petrol engine is relatively efficient for an SUV, typically offering between 35-45 MPG depending on driving conditions. It falls into a mid-range tax band, and insurance groups vary significantly based on your personal profile, though Audi brands generally carry a premium.
Maintenance costs for Audis are typically higher than for mainstream hatchbacks, particularly for specialist parts like suspension components and tyres. Expect an estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, to be approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect the front suspension arms and bushes meticulously. The MOT history explicitly records failures for 'excessively worn' bushes on both front sides, which is a common wear point on this generation. Look for uneven tyre wear which would indicate these suspension issues have not been fully rectified.
Examine the tyres for sidew cracking and tread depth. The history shows multiple entries for 'cracking or perishing' and 'worn close to legal limit', suggesting the previous owner may have neglected tyre maintenance until an MOT failure. Additionally, check the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring, as this was noted in the February 2025 test.
This 2015 Audi Q3 sits at approximately 63,922 miles, which is significantly below the model-average for a vehicle this age. However, the MOT record reveals two failures in the last two years, primarily relating to worn suspension arm bushes and tyre-related defects. While the most recent 2026 MOT passed without defects, the previous records suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance on wear-related components.
The 1.4 TSI Audi Q3 is generally solid, but this model is known for suspension wear and tear, particularly arm bushes over time.
