2019 Audi Q3 1.5L Petrol · MA19 AOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously flawless maintenance record. While the car achieved three clean passes between 2022 and 2024, the August 2025 test at 35,771 miles flagged the first mechanical concerns to date. The presence of thin front brake pads and pitted rear brake discs suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase of component replacement despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,110 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage, moving from 18,171 miles in August 2022 to 35,771 miles by August 2025. This low rate of travel often suggests short-distance trips, which can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on braking components if they are not frequently under heavy load, which aligns with the scored rear discs noted in the latest MOT test. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to assess the extent of the corrosion on the rear discs. The tester noted that under trays are currently obscuring certain components, which may hinder a thorough visual check of the suspension bushings and exhaust system for rust. It is essential to verify that the front pads have been replaced since the 2025 test, as the advisory indicated they were nearing the limit of their service life at that time.
