2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · LT17 FOM

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 showed the vehicle passed with multiple tyre and brake-related issues. The nearside and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge damage, while front brake pads were thin and discs were pitted or scored. These findings mirror earlier reports, indicating persistent wear on tyres and braking components. The prior MOT on 2026-03-06 resulted in a failure, with front tyres having structural bulges and severe edge wear, alongside similar brake disc and pad issues. The minimal 40-mile gap between the failed and passed MOTs suggests the vehicle may have been driven very little between tests, potentially leading to tyre damage from prolonged inactivity. However, the recurring brake disc wear from 2023 onwards implies ongoing mechanical stress, possibly from aggressive driving or insufficient maintenance. Brake disc wear has been consistently recorded since 2023, progressing from "worn but not excessively" to "pitted or scored" by 2026. Tyre issues have also persisted, with edge wear and damage appearing in multiple tests. While the trend shows no rapid deterioration, the repetition of these faults suggests either chronic under-maintenance or heavy usage patterns that accelerate component wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,893 miles over 9 years equates to ~6,544 miles annually, which is typical for its age.
