2021 Audi Q3 Technik 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · GP21 JCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test on 29 May 2026 at 37,959 miles flagged the front brake pads as wearing thin and the offside front tyre as near the legal limit. These defects suggest that the previous owner only addresses components once they reach the point of failure or advisory status rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. There was a gap of 3,530 miles recorded between October 2024 and June 2025, followed by a 6,664-mile interval between June 2025 and May 2026. This regularity suggests consistent use, which is generally beneficial for vehicle seals and mechanical components, though the frequency of-related faults indicates that consumables are being run hard between these intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with thin rear pads in October 2024 and front pads in May 2026. The tester should check for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers which could explain the premature thinning. Additionally, the offside front tyre edge wear in 2026 and the previous sidewall damage in 2024 necessitate a check of the front geometry and suspension alignment to ensure that worn bushes or incorrect alignment are not causing rapid tyre degradation.
