2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Petrol · DA65 EBZ

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident across the recorded history, with the vehicle maintaining a clean testing record for the majority of its life. The most recent test on 23 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects noted, following a period of stability that has seen no major failures or structural issues flagged throughout the eight recorded inspections. While the record is largely devoid of mechanical defects, a single advisory regarding tyre condition in July 2024 indicates a specific point of wear that was identified during the inspection process. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low mileage profile for an 11-year-old car, having covered only 35,017 miles in total. This equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 3,183 miles, which is significantly below the standard UK average. Mechanically, such low usage often suggests infrequent operation, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than wear. This is supported by the 2024 advisory concerning the offside rear tyre, where cracking or perishing was noted, a common occurrence when tyres are subjected to age-related degradation rather than heavy tread wear. When conducting a test drive, attention should be directed toward the condition of the tyres to ensure that any perishing noted in previous years has been addressed with fresh rubber. Inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for any signs of fine cracking or bulging, and check that the tread depth is sufficient and even. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to listen for any unusual noises from the suspension system, such as knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, as rubber bushes and seals can sometimes harden or perish when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded issues with braking systems, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity provides a baseline of stability. However, because the vehicle has been driven sparingly, a thorough check of the braking performance is advised to ensure there is no binding or uneven deceleration, which can occur if calipers become seized due to inactivity. Pay close attention to the pedal feel for any sponginess or vibration that might indicate issues with the hydraulic system or disc surfaces that may have developed surface corrosion during periods of standing.
