2012 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · DA12 UGF

The 2012 Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 February 2025 at 131,630 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the observed period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,400 miles per year. The record runs from 116,031 miles on 2 March 2022 to 131,630 miles on 28 February 2025, a measured accumulation of about 15,600 miles over three years. A single anomaly appears on 28 February 2023 when the car failed at 121,342 miles, yet the tester logged no defects and the vehicle passed cleanly five days later on 3 March 2023 at 121,343 miles, implying an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test. A clean MOT chain of this length indicates disciplined servicing rather than deferred work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, and verify brake component thickness and tyre condition despite no advisories. The 2023 fail with no recorded defect warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason to rule out a documentation error before purchase.
