2017 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · LS67 CVW

This 2017 Audi Q3 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 11 September 2025 at 47,852 miles with zero advisories or defects. The most recent test confirms all core safety systems, including brakes, suspension, steering, and structural integrity, met DVSA standards on that date. A vehicle that previously failed on tyre condition and a TPMS fault in August 2023 has since corrected those issues and maintained consecutive clean passes, suggesting attentive ownership in the last three years. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,317 miles per year. Accumulation has been steady rather than erratic, rising from 24,075 miles in July 2022 to 33,396 miles by August 2023, then to 41,070 miles by September 2024, and finally to 47,852 miles by September 2025. This consistent year-on-year increase of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles indicates regular use without prolonged standing periods, which is favourable for preventing the kind of deterioration associated with vehicles left idle, such as seized brakes, flat-spotted tyres, and moisture-related corrosion. The only recorded defects occurred during the August 2023 test cycle at 33,396 miles, where the tester flagged a malfunctioning or inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system alongside three tyre-related advisories. Both front tyres were worn to 2mm on their edges, and the offside rear tyre showed cracking or perishing. These are consumable wear items rather than structural or mechanical failures, and the subsequent pass on the same day confirms the owner addressed them promptly. The recurrence of multiple tyre defects in a single test does suggest tyre condition was not being monitored proactively before that point, though the clean passes since September 2024 indicate this was corrected. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus on the condition of all four tyres, including sidewalls and tread depth across each axle, given the history of uneven wear and perishing. The TPMS should be verified as functional with no dashboard warnings illuminated. Beyond the recorded items, a test drive should assess brake feel for any binding or uneven pull, and the underside should be inspected for corrosion on suspension components, subframes, and exhaust mounting points, as low-mileage vehicles used primarily for short journeys can develop surface rust and condensation-related deterioration despite the modest odometer reading.
