Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When viewing this orange Q3, pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a trend of corrosion on rear suspension arms (noted in both 2024 and 2025) and previous failures involving suspension arm pins and bushes in 2023. You should ask the seller if the corrosion noted in the 2025 MOT has been addressed or if it is merely an advisory.
Check the service history specifically for any evidence of suspension component replacement. Given that the 2023 failure involved both front suspension arm bushes and a fractured rear coil spring, ensure these parts have been replaced with quality components. Negotiate on the basis of the recent advisory regarding the offside front tyre cut and the ongoing suspension arm corrosion.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Q3 is likely to offer decent fuel economy on long motorway journeys, though costs will vary depending on driving style. It will fall into a standard insurance group for its class and a typical diesel tax band.
Maintenance costs for Audi models can be higher than for mass-market brands. The MOT history suggests you should budget for suspension repairs, which appear to be a recurring theme for this specific vehicle. Estimated annual running costs are moderate, factoring in diesel fuel and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the suspension system. The MOT records for this vehicle specifically highlight issues with suspension arm pins, bushes, and corrosion on the rear lower suspension arms. A test drive is essential to listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the front or rear, which could indicate the worn bushes or fractured springs noted in previous tests.
Additionally, inspect the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded a cut in the offside front tyre, and the 2022 record showed both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit. Check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit or showing uneven wear patterns.
This 2014 Audi Q3 features a 1968cc diesel engine and has covered 62,324 miles as of September 2025. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension-related advisories and failures, specifically regarding suspension arms and bushes. While it has passed its most recent test, the recurring nature of these issues suggests attention may be needed in the near future.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including anti-roll bars, tyres, and brake discs.
