2022 Audi Q3 S LN BLK ED 35 Tfsi Mhev SA 1.5L Petrol · KN22 NPC

Most recent MOT (23 April 2026) passed with no recorded defects at 56,070 mi. The earlier 2025 tests reveal a consistent pattern: light oil misting on both front shock absorbers and tyre tread at or near the legal limit on all four wheels, plus a crack‑type defect on the nearside rear tyre. The 2025‑04‑10 failure also flagged non‑compliant front and rear registration plates; these were not noted in the later pass, suggesting they were corrected. The recurring shock‑absorber oil leak and tyre wear have not worsened in the record – the 2026 MOT shows no new items, implying the issues were either repaired or are now just below the reporting threshold. Nevertheless, the same wear points re‑appeared within a year, so the risk of future suspension or tyre problems remains. At roughly 14,000 mi per year, the Q3 is higher‑mileage than average for a four‑year‑old. This mileage level points to relatively hard use, which accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, shocks, brakes and suspension components. It does not, however, prove chronic under‑use; the pattern simply aligns with the higher mileage. For a buyer, the first checks should be: - Visual inspection of all tyre tread depth and sidewall condition; replace any tyre that is close to the legal limit or shows cracking. - Examine the front shock absorbers for oil seepage or signs of deterioration; consider a professional suspension inspection.
