2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · KP65 VPL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on October 17, 2025, at 118,203 miles resulted in a clean pass following an initial failure for ineffective windscreen wiper blades. This indicates that the owner addressed minor peripheral defects immediately to secure compliance. The failure in October 2024 due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp is more significant, as it suggests a previous oversight or electronic engine management fault that was rectified before the subsequent pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 97,119 miles and the October 2024 test at 107,301 miles, the car covered 10,182 miles in a year. Another 10,902 miles were recorded in the following year leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which often results in more predictable wear patterns than the degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas highlighted by previous records. The October 2023 advisory noted all tyres were close to wear bars, implying the owner may run consumables to their legal limit before replacing. Given the 2024 failure regarding the engine MIL, a diagnostic scan is necessary to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine management system. While the recent history shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, the high mileage warrants a close check of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common points of failure on this model at this age.
