2019 Audi Q3 Sport 40 Tfsi Quattro S-A 2.0L Petrol · KN69 HHB

A pattern of minor consumable wear and intermittent tyre issues defines the mechanical history of this Audi Q3, which most recently passed its MOT on 21 August 2026. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record since 2022, the documentation shows a recurring focus on tyres and braking components. The most recent inspection flagged advisories for nails in both the offside front and offside rear tyres, following a previous failure in August 2022 due to a deep cut in the nearside front tyre. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, the presence of recent tyre advisories suggests a need for close monitoring of tread integrity and puncture risks. The vehicle has covered 41,553 miles over approximately seven years, representing an average annual usage of roughly 5,936 miles. This is a relatively low mileage profile for a 2019 model, which can imply less frequent mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, such low annual accumulation can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may affect the condition of rubber components and seals. The mileage progression appears steady across the recorded test dates, with no evidence of sudden, heavy-duty usage or significant gaps in the testing timeline. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the front suspension and braking system based on previous advisories. In August 2023, the front shock absorbers were noted to have a light misting of oil on both sides. During a test drive, you should listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which could indicate that the misting has progressed to a more significant leak or that the internal damping is failing. Additionally, the 2022 records highlighted thinning brake pads and worn front brake discs. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, you should check for any pedal judder or vibration through the brake pedal during deceleration, which could indicate disc warping or uneven wear. Regarding the tyres, the recent advisories for nails in the offside front and rear suggest that the tread depth and overall condition of the rubber should be scrutinised. Beyond the immediate presence of nails, inspect the sidewalls for any bulges or cuts that might have been missed. The 2024 advisory regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate is a minor cosmetic and compliance matter, but the overall history indicates that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the consumables—specifically tyres, brakes, and shock absorbers—are the primary areas requiring physical verification during a mechanical inspection.
