2022 Audi Q3 Technik 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · KM72 DLU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 31 July 2025 at 40,138 miles, with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable roadworthiness status at the time of testing, though the absence of any advisories or faults in the single available record limits broader insight into long-term reliability. The test was conducted just under a year ago, which is within the DVSA’s recommended interval for high-mileage or complex vehicles, though the lack of prior MOTs means no trend can be established for recurring issues or maintenance patterns. The recorded mileage of 40,138 miles over approximately four years suggests an average annual distance of around 10,034 miles, which aligns with typical usage for this age of vehicle. Without earlier MOTs, there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity, though the sparse data prevents confirmation of consistent maintenance intervals. The current mileage remains well below the 60,000-mile threshold where more intensive wear—such as suspension bush deterioration or brake system degradation—typically becomes more pronounced. Given the single clean MOT pass, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not covered by the test, including the suspension’s coil springs and bushes for cracking or excessive play, particularly around the rear where MHEV systems can introduce additional stress. The brake system—discs, calipers, and pads—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion in wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust mounts should also be examined, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often overlooked in basic MOT checks. The hybrid battery and associated wiring loom, while not MOT-tested, warrant scrutiny given the vehicle’s MHEV configuration. Finally, fluid levels—brake, coolant, and differential oil—should be verified, as these are not routinely inspected during an MOT but directly impact long-term reliability.
