2012 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · FP62 XLD

This Audi Q3 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 3 June 2025 at 95,048 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the typical accumulation of minor advisories. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,789 miles per year. The usage pattern shows a steady increase over the last four years, rising from 72,407 miles in January 2022 to 95,048 miles by June 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across four consecutive tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions during the 2023 or 2025 inspections. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner, as common wear items like tyres and wiper blades were evidently replaced before they became MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT does not exhaustively cover. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as surface rust often develops without triggering a failure. Verify the service history for evidence of cambelt and water pump replacements, as these are critical timed maintenance items for this engine that do not appear on a standard MOT record.
