2019 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · DF19 VZL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in maintenance standards following several years of clean records. While it passed the MOT on 17 June 2025 at 19,767 miles, it had failed the test earlier that same day for multiple defects. The failure involving nearside front tyre damage reaching the cords, general tyre perished, and worn rear brake pads and discs suggests that the previous owner neglected routine consumable replacements despite the vehicle's low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-mileage patterns between 2022 and 2024, where mileage climbed only from 11,383 to 16,959 miles. However, this low usage often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. The June 2025 failure regarding perishing and cracking on all four tyres is a direct consequence of the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods, causing the rubber compound to fail regardless of the remaining tread depth. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres, as the 2025 record flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin pads. The buyer should verify that these components were replaced following the failure and check for any signs of seizing or uneven wear. Given the advisory on perishing tyres, the sidewalls should be checked for deep internal cracking, as low-mileage cars often suffer from structural tyre failure. Additionally, inspect the suspension rubber-work for signs of dry rot, which frequently occurs on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
