2014 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · MA64 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-08 at 81,607 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior failure on 2025-10-03 at 81,590 miles—just five days earlier—remains unexplained, as no defects were logged. This abrupt shift suggests either a technical anomaly during testing or a temporary issue resolved swiftly. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 showed consistent passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the preceding three years. The absence of structural or mechanical warnings in the history implies no critical failures, though the recent failure warrants scrutiny to confirm the car’s reliability. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,801 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 5,511-mile increase between the 2023-10-05 test (68,383 miles) and 2024-10-04 test (73,894 miles), followed by a 7,713-mile rise to 81,607 miles by 2025-10-08. These figures suggest regular use without prolonged inactivity, though the rapid accumulation in 2025 may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The MOT history lacks recurring issues, reflecting a clean record overall, but the recent failure introduces uncertainty. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as well as the braking mechanism for uneven wear or binding calipers, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system, common in older models, should also be checked. While no defects were recorded, the unexplained failure in October 2025 highlights the need for a professional assessment to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity and address any latent issues not captured in the MOT data.
