2021 Audi Q3 S Line 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · EF70 XZR

The vehicle currently presents a stable and sound roadworthiness status, confirmed by a clean MOT pass on 4 February 2026 at 29,597 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A failed test on 16 February 2024 at 14,980 miles exposed severe tyre degradation, including exposed ply on the Nearside Front, but the subsequent retest on the same day and the following two annual tests indicate the owner addressed these immediate failures. No mechanical or structural defects have surfaced since, suggesting the recurring issues were resolved rather than ignored. The recorded mileage of 29,597 miles translates to roughly 5,919 miles per year, which is notably low for a 2021 vehicle. The MOT records show a steady accumulation of 6,728 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and a further 7,889 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This pattern points to a shift from prolonged standing to regular recent use. Low annual mileage often leads to premature tyre perishing due to lack of rotation and UV exposure, which aligns directly with the 2024 tyre failures. Despite the clean 2026 certificate, a buyer must physically inspect all four tyres closely. The 2024 failure for exposed cords and perishing across all four wheels suggests the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods, causing dry rot. Verify the current tyre manufacture dates to ensure they are recent replacements, not the original 2021 factory rubber. Examine the sidewalls for cracking, especially if the car has spent time outdoors. Beyond the tyres, the low mileage warrants a thorough check of the braking system. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust and the calipers for binding, as infrequent use often causes sticking and uneven wear. Assess the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as light use does not necessarily prevent rubber degradation over five years.
