2013 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · DS63 USV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging mechanical wear. While the most recent test on January 7, 2026 at 133,578 miles passed, the introduction of an advisory for an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge indicates a developing alignment issue or suspension-related wear. This follows a defect in January 2025 where the nearside rear lower suspension arm pin or bush showed signs of wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,275 miles per year. Between December 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 11,394 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 2,800 miles per annum during that period. The gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests shows a slight increase in interval, but the lack of defects recorded during those years suggests the vehicle was in a good mechanical state until more recent high-mileage inspections. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry. The recorded wear on the lower arm bush in 2025 and the uneven tyre wear noted in 2026 suggest the components are reaching the end of their functional life. Check for perished rubber on all suspension bushings and ensure the control arms are not exhibiting excessive play. Given the 133,578-mile reading, also verify the condition of the brake discs and check for any leaks that the MOT tester might not capture.
