2021 Audi Q3 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · FL71 MYB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted just six months ago on 17 November 2025 at 37,869 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy but with minor, non-critical issues that did not prevent passing. The trend over the past two years is stable, as the two preceding tests in June 2024 and November 2024 both recorded no defects, suggesting consistent compliance with MOT standards. However, the latest inspection reveals two tyre-related advisories—one for a cut on the nearside rear tyre (not severe) and another for excessive wear on the offside front tyre, which was running close to the legal limit and on the edge. These are correctable but indicate a need for immediate attention, particularly if the front tyre’s edge wear suggests misalignment or underinflation. No structural, suspension, or braking faults have been recorded in any test, which is reassuring for core safety systems. The mileage progression of approximately 7,574 miles annually over the past five years aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without any abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between tests—around 12 months between November 2024 and November 2025—is standard, though the absence of any defects in the earlier tests implies the vehicle was likely maintained at an adequate level during this period. There is no evidence of excessive wear or neglect in the drivetrain or major components, though the recorded mileage does not account for periods where the vehicle may have stood unused, which could affect consumable items like fluids or seals. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres, particularly the offside front and nearside rear, to confirm the advisories from the November 2025 test have been addressed. The front tyre’s edge wear warrants checking for wheel alignment and tyre pressure history, while the rear tyre’s cut should be professionally assessed for depth and structural integrity. Given the absence of braking or suspension faults in the MOT history, these systems should still be scrutinised for wear—particularly the rear brakes, which were not tested in the latest pass due to the child seat obstruction. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers are all areas where silent degradation could occur without MOT detection, so visual inspection for fluid leaks, uneven tyre wear, or excessive play in steering/suspension is essential. The MHEV hybrid system should also be verified for any warning lights or performance anomalies, though MOT records do not cover hybrid-specific diagnostics.
