2022 Audi Q3 S Line 40 TDI Quattro S-A 2.0L Diesel · DG72 FWA

Front tyre tread depth has dropped to the legal minimum, the sole recorded wear‑related issue on an otherwise spotless MOT history; the August 2026 test was passed with no defects, confirming that apart from the tyre advisory the vehicle met all statutory requirements at that time. The single advisory from the previous year, noting 3 mm tread on both front tyres, indicates a pattern of normal tyre wear rather than any recurring mechanical fault. At just under 26 000 mi after four years, the average annual accumulation sits around 6 500 mi, which aligns with typical usage for a compact SUV of this age. There are no gaps in the MOT schedule, suggesting the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This mileage level places the vehicle in the early‑to‑mid‑life stage where consumables such as brake pads, clutch (if manual), and suspension bushings will be approaching the point of routine replacement, but no accelerated wear is evident from the recorded data. Prospective buyers should inspect the front tyres closely for any signs of uneven wear, sidewall cracking, or embedded debris, and verify that the tread depth exceeds 3 mm on each tyre before committing to purchase. A test‑drive should include a straight‑line run to detect any pull to one side, which could point to misalignment or worn suspension components, and a careful listen for humming or knocking over bumps that might reveal deteriorating front suspension bushes or steering linkage play. Replacing the front tyres promptly will restore full grip and eliminate the immediate legal risk. While the MOT record shows no brake or suspension failures, it is prudent to assess the condition of the brake pads and discs for wear, especially given the mileage. During the drive, note any pulsation through the pedal, squealing noises, or a spongy feel, all of which would warrant a closer inspection. Likewise, feel for any looseness in the steering wheel at low speeds and check for excessive play in the front wheel bearings; these checks will help confirm that the vehicle’s handling remains sound as it progresses beyond the current mileage threshold.
