2013 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · DE03 NOV

The Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 97,024 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 3 September 2024 at 88,218 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 30 August 2024 at 88,217 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed and the vehicle passed four days later, indicating the failure was administrative or a trivial rectification rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions appear across the five-year span. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,463 miles given the 2013 build year. The odometer moved from 73,297 miles at the 9 September 2022 test to 83,528 miles by 30 August 2023, then 88,218 miles by 3 September 2024, and 97,024 miles by September 2025. The yearly increments of roughly 10,000, 4,700, and 8,800 miles show no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean record across all passages suggests previous owners kept basic consumable wear within test limits, though the sparse entries leave little visibility of intermediate upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's thirteen years. The MOT history flags no binding calipers, exhaust leaks, or worn coil springs, but testers often miss early suspension bush degradation between annual checks. Verify the 30 August 2024 failure paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect. Pre-purchase checks should cover brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth, and wiper function despite no advisories. The Q3's clean trajectory implies disciplined ownership, yet at 97,024 miles the drivetrain and turbo components warrant a diagnostic scan for latent faults absent from MOT data.
