2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · GL16 AXT

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 91,319 miles with no recorded defects. Following a single test failure in February 2025, the subsequent clean pass upon retest at the same mileage suggests that the owner addressed any identified issues immediately. The trend indicates a proactive approach to maintaining legal compliance standards over the last year of operation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 12,041 miles between December 2022 and January 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 12,597 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used for regular commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the seals and preservation of rubber components and the prevention of brake-related seizing. While the recent history shows a lack of defects, a buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. At over 90,000 miles, Audi vehicles of this era often show wear in the control arm bushings which affects handling precision. You should also check for signs of oil leaks around the engine and thinning brake discs, as the MOT only tests for functional failure rather than the remaining life of consumables. Given the age, a thorough inspection of the underbody for corrosion is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean test record.
