2013 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · LM63 DVN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent pass on 21 May 2026 at 82,646 miles. While the car consistently passes its tests, the maintenance trend shows emerging wear in the suspension and tyre components. The most recent inspection flagged nearside front tyre wear on the edge and light oil misting from the nearside front shock absorber. These issues suggest that while the vehicle is being maintained sufficiently to pass, consumable parts are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,357 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 29,018 miles in October 2016 to the current 82,646 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of erratic usage, which indicates regular, predictable driving patterns. This steady mileage profile typically means components like the drivetrain and suspension have experienced gradual, expected wear rather than sudden, heavy-duty stress. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension system during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of shock absorber oil misting, first noted in October 2021 on both sides, and appearing again in May 2024 on the offside and most recently in May 2026 on the nearside. This suggests the dampers are gradually failing and may require replacement soon to maintain ride quality and handling. The repeated advisories for tyre wear, specifically on the offside front in May 2025 and the nearside front in May 2026, also indicate a need to check wheel alignment or tracking to prevent premature tyre degradation.
