2018 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · GG55 ALY

The Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 26 June 2025 at 41,398 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend appears stable and resolving, given that the two prior failure entries in June 2023 and June 2024 were followed within one day by clean passes at identical or near-identical mileages and also with no defects logged. This pattern suggests any issues prompting the initial failures were either non-mechanical or corrected immediately before re-test. Mileage accumulation remains low for an eight-year-old vehicle, with the record showing 26,051 miles at the 13 June 2023 test, rising to 33,901 miles by 13 June 2024 and 41,398 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 7,500 miles annually across the last two years, marginally above the long-term average of about 5,175 miles per year implied by the current odometer. The supplied extract omits the 2021 and 2022 MOT entries, leaving a sparse history that limits longitudinal wear assessment. Previous keepers appear to have used the car lightly, possibly with periods of storage, yet secured timely annual certifications once this record begins. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should physically inspect components prone to deterioration under low-use conditions. Standing vehicles often develop corrosion on brake discs and exhaust emissions system hangers, while suspension bushes and coil springs may perish without flexing. The tester noted no advisories on structural integrity, but visual checks for rust at chassis mounting points remain prudent. Binding calipers can seize after long inactivity; a road test should confirm free rotation and even pedal feel. The recurring failed tests on 12 June 2023 at 26,051 miles and 12 June 2024 at 33,888 miles, each with no defects recorded, point to administrative or documentation anomalies rather than mechanical neglect. Prior owners likely maintained basic compliance, given the immediate passes next day. A buyer must obtain the full MOT certificate details to confirm whether those failures involved absent lamps or tyre pressure that the summary omits.
