2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Petrol · LM17 XKW

The 2017 Audi Q3 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 46,965 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2022. The vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults across five consecutive MOT entries, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each test and kept the SUV in sound condition. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 24,963 miles at the 27 October 2022 test, rising to 31,363 by 24 October 2023, then 41,164 on 25 October 2024, 42,983 on 19 February 2025, and 46,965 on 2 February 2026. That averages roughly 5,200 miles per year. The jump from 31,363 to 41,164 miles between October 2023 and October 2024 marks the only period of heavier use, yet the car still passed clean. Low overall mileage suggests lighter duty, though extended standing periods can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Q3's age and the limit of MOT checks to visible fault at test time. The tester recorded no structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, so no recurring weakness appears in the history. Verify underbody condition for rust and confirm the cambelt interval per Audi schedule, as the low mileage may have delayed time-based servicing items. Given five straight passes with zero advisories, the evidence points to conscientious ownership rather than deferred upkeep. The clean record removes common used-car risks such as binding calipers or worn tyres, but pre-purchase checks on consumables and time-expired fluids remain sensible on a 2017 model.
