2020 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · BV70 LRJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 at 60,474 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. A failure just four days prior to the successful test revealed low engine oil levels and front brake pads worn below the 1.5mm legal limit. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the pattern suggests the owner only addresses critical mechanical components when they reach the point of inspection failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2024 test at 54,192 miles and the May 2026 test at 60,474 miles, the car covered 6,282 miles. This usage rate suggests typical suburban driving rather than heavy motorway use or significant neglect. The interval between tests remains regular, showing the vehicle has been tested annually, though the low mileage gap in 2024 highlights a period of lighter use. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the record shows thin pads in 2025 and a failure in 2026. The recurring nature of this fault suggests the discs may be scored or thinned from prolonged use with worn pads. The 2025 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on both rear tyres indicates the rubber compound may be aging despite having sufficient tread depth, necessitating a check for sidewall integrity. Furthermore, the low oil level noted in 2026 warrants a check for engine leaks or internal consumption to ensure the powertrain is not burning oil at an excessive rate.
