2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · FG15 AEK

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend following recent successful inspections. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 47,654 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a period of clean results in 2025 and 2022, suggesting the vehicle is currently well-maintained and meeting operational standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 4,332 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2018 and March 2019, where the car covered only 1,197 miles in a full year. Since 2019, the usage has remained consistent, generally fluctuating between 1,500 and 2,200 miles per annum. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear seen on high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system as the record shows a recurring pattern of pitted and scored brake discs. The tester flagged front and rear discs in 2023, rear discs again in 2024, and rear discs in 2021. While these did not result in failures, the frequency suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing surface corrosion to develop on the rotors. An inspection should check for caliper seizing and ensure the current discs are not showing excessive wear. The suspension history shows a specific failure in March 2023 due to a fractured offside front coil spring. Although this was rectified to pass the test, the low-mileage nature of the car means suspension bushes and bushings should be inspected for cracking or rot. Given the 2018 failure where emissions were too low to test, the buyer should also verify the health of the fuel system and ensure the engine has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity.
