2016 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · FV16 YSK

The 2025‑10‑07 MOT at 78,403 miles confirms the vehicle remains road‑worthy, but the pattern of wear indicates a gradual deterioration. The repeated advisories on front brake discs, front and rear brake pads, and persistent wear of the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes show a worsening trend rather than stability. Mileage has risen from 23,116 in June 2019 to 78,403 by October 2025, averaging about 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with the car’s ten‑year age. No long periods of inactivity are evident; the annual increments are consistent, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged storage. The record repeatedly notes front brake disc pitting, front and rear brake pad wear, and wear of the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, with the rear brake disc and pads also appearing in later tests. These faults are not classified as serious structural failures, yet they signal components approaching replacement and warrant close inspection. A prospective buyer should have a qualified technician examine the condition of the brake discs for scoring or cracking, measure pad thickness especially on the off‑side rear axle where it fell below 1.5 mm, and inspect the suspension arm bushings for cracking or excessive play; any signs of rust on the chassis or sub‑frame should also be verified.
