2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · EU16 NTV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 74,552 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns identified in earlier tests were addressed. This shift from multiple advisories to a defect-free certificate suggests the current owner is proactive in servicing the vehicle as faults arise. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 29,795 miles and the 2025 test at 74,552 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 45,000 miles, showing a steady usage rate. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the car sat stationary for extended periods, which helps mitigate the risk of fluid degradation or prevents the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, as these were recurring weak points in 2022 and 2023. The record shows pitted and scored rear brake discs, while the 2023 test specifically flagged thin front pads and uneven tyre wear. While these appear to have been rectified, on-site inspection should verify the current thickness of the brake material and check for caliper sticking that might cause uneven wear. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres necessitates a close look at the sidewalls for cracking to ensure the rubber has not aged prematurely despite the low mileage.
