2022 Audi Q3 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · GK72 CZM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 10 June 2026 at 28,030 miles passed but introduced a new advisory for a frayed offside front seat belt and a minor cut on the offside front tyre. The frayed seat belt issue was previously noted in the 2025 test, suggesting the owner has neglected to address this safety concern over the intervening year. The mileage profile is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the August 2025 test at 23,202 miles and the June 2026 test at 28,030 miles, the car covered roughly 5,000 miles. This relatively low annual usage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, yet the record reveals that consumable items are reaching replacement limits despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front shock absorbers, as the 2025 test flagged light misting of oil on both sides. Although this did not cause a failure then, misting often precedes a seal failure and subsequent fluid leakage. Furthermore, the uneven wear noted on three tyres in 2025, specifically the offside front reaching the 1.6mm limit, indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry that needs verification to prevent premature tyre degradation. The offside front seat belt webbing requires immediate replacement as fraying can compromise the integrity of the restraint during an impact. Given the history of tyre advisories, the buyer should also check the current tread depth and wear patterns across all wheels to ensure they remain balanced. The mechanical history is clean of structural corrosion or brake failures, but the recurring minor faults suggest a lack of attention to detail regarding routine maintenance.
