2016 Audi Q3 S Line Tfsi S-A 1.4L Petrol · IIL 7167

The 2016 Audi Q3 S Line TFSI S-A presents a roadworthy status as of the 11 December 2025 test at 74,975 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with every pass since 2022 showing a clean sheet and no advisories. A single failure on 10 December 2025 at 74,944 miles is anomalous; the DVSA entry lists no defects, which points to an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle cleared the test one day later with no work required. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,498 miles per year. The record shows 49,108 miles on 27 July 2022, rising to 57,301 by 8 July 2023, then 66,949 on 7 November 2024, and 74,975 on 11 December 2025. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans fifteen months, suggesting the prior owner delayed the 2024 renewal slightly. No rapid accumulation or long dormant periods appear in the data. The sparse, clean history implies consistent but not intensive use with basic upkeep met. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained 2025 failure entry. The Q3's MacPherson front and multi-link rear suspension can develop worn bushes or corroded subframe mounts by this mileage. Examine the exhaust emissions system and structural underbody for corrosion, particularly around sills and suspension mounting points. The clean MOT run means no recurring faults flag specific weak components. Verify the 10 December 2025 failure reason with the testing station paperwork before purchase. Confirm actual tread depth, brake caliper operation, and absence of fluid leaks that a no-defect test might overlook on a light-use vehicle.
