2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · CP16 FXR

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset following its most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 80,772 miles, where it passed without defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend after a mechanical failure earlier that year. The transition from a failure in May 2025 to a clean pass in September 2025 indicates that the owner addressed the identified safety faults promptly, bringing the vehicle back to a standard operating condition. At 80,772 miles over ten years, the Audi Q3 has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a premium SUV. The mileage accumulation shows consistent use, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 1,600 miles in the four months leading to the September 2025 test. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension geometry, given the fractured nearside rear coil spring recorded during the May 2025 failure. While the spring was replaced, the buyer should verify that the opposite side and the shock absorber mounting show no signs of premature fatigue or leaking. The 2023 advisory regarding front tyres being worn on the edges suggests a past alignment issue or worn bushings; therefore, a check of the current wheel alignment is necessary to ensure the tyres are not being scrubbed. The nearside rear tyre should also be inspected for internal damage or slow leaks resulting from the nail that caused the 2025 failure.
