2013 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · EY63 YCL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in August 2025 at 99,485 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the latest test showed no immediate advisories, the historical data reveals a consistent pattern of wear-related issues being flagged over time, suggesting that the owner only addressed mechanical faults once they reached a point of failure or were highlighted by the MOT tester. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 99,485 miles averages approximately 7,653 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 15,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 18,600 miles between September 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown in older German vehicles. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyres. The record shows a recurring history of pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs dating back to 2021, with the front discs specifically flagged again in 2024. This indicates potential issues with corrosion or low-quality replacement components. Furthermore, the 2023 test at 65,425 miles identified all four tyres as perishing and reaching the legal limit; while likely replaced since, the current set should be checked for sidewall cracking given the age of the rubber. The presence of fitted undertrays noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests complicates a visual inspection of the undercarriage and structural integrity. An independent mechanic should attempt to see beneath these shields to check for structural corrosion or oil leaks that may be hidden from view. Given the age of the Audi Q3 and the mileage, the suspension bushings and coil springs should also be scrutinized for wear, as these are common points of failure on this platform as they approach the six-figure mile mark.
