2017 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · FP67 YXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumable wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 63,215 miles resulted in a pass, although a child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. Looking back, the trend shows a period of significant neglect in mid-2024 followed by a clean result in the subsequent annual test, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached the MOT failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 6,040 miles between the June 2023 and August 2024 tests, followed by roughly 4,300 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 inspection. This suggests the car is used for short-distance commuting, but the long periods of lower mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment due to recurring uneven tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2024. The records show multiple instances of tyres wearing unevenly on the inner edges, which often points to worn control arm bushes, faulty shocks, or incorrect camber settings. The failure in August 2024 for thin front brake pads and multiple tyres near the legal limit confirms that basic maintenance was previously deferred. A physical check of the current brake discs for scoring or thinning and an inspection of the tyres for premature wear is essential to ensure these previous issues have not returned.
