2018 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · GD18 VGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of emerging wear-related issues. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 48,662 miles identified advisories for both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes. While these did not result in a failure or excessive movement, they indicate that the front suspension components are beginning the end of their service life. The' pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 5,254 miles between the May 2024 test (34,967 miles) and the February 2025 test (40,171 miles), followed by another 8,491 miles leading into the 2026 inspection. This low annual mileage suggests light-duty use, which explains why the mechanical components have not been severely stressed by high-frequencyion driving. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the bushing wear noted in the latest record. Because both front arms were flagged simultaneously, a replacement of the pair may be necessary to ensure proper alignment and prevent uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for consistent depth, as the 2023 record noted a nearside front worn to the limit and the 2024 record identified a nail in the nearside rear.
