2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · CP16 TYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a period of reactive rather than proactive care management. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 93,595 miles passed, the adviser noted an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit with specific inner edge wear. This follows a significant failure in February 2025 where multiple tyres failed for both wear and damage, suggesting that artwork maintenance has historically been neglected between annual inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,360 miles per year over the ten-year period. There is a notable gap of roughly 8,500 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 15,000 miles in the year leading up to the February 2025 test. This increased activity suggests higher usage recently, which places standard mechanical stress on the suspension components and braking systems typical of an Audi Q3 of this era. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the recurring reports of inner edge wear on rear tyres in 2025 and 2026 often indicate alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. The braking system also requires a check for uneven wear, following the advisory of thin rear pads in June 2024. Given the history of sidewall cuts and rapid wear, verifying the current condition of the remaining tyres and the wheel bearings is essential to ensure no hidden structural damage resulted from the previous faults.
