2016 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · J20 OAO

This Audi Q3 demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2025. The vehicle passed that inspection at 21,447 miles without a single defect or advisory recorded. This clean bill of health is consistent with the four previous tests dating back to 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,145 miles per year. The recorded distance increased by 1,911 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and by 2,519 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. These figures confirm a pattern of very light, consistent use rather than long periods of total dormancy, which reduces the likelihood of severe seizure in braking components or perished rubber seals. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low mileage introduces specific risks that a buyer must verify during a physical inspection. Vehicles that spend more time stationary than driven are prone to brake disc corrosion and binding calipers. You should check for pitting on the disc surfaces and ensure the calipers move freely. Check the condition of the tyres and suspension bushes for age related cracking. Even if the tread depth is legal, rubber compounds harden over a decade, which can compromise grip and handling. A physical check of the underbody for surface corrosion is also advised, as low mileage does not automatically guarantee the absence of rust if the car was stored in a damp environment.
