2014 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · MD14 GFU

The most recent MOT, taken on 1 November 2025 at 113 542 miles, was passed. The tester flagged only near‑edge tyre wear and worn suspension arm pins that did not cause excessive movement. Compared with the failure on 30 October 2025, the vehicle’s condition has improved, suggesting that previous owners addressed the tyre and suspension issues. Overall, the car remains roadworthy, though a pattern of recurring tyre and suspension faults is evident. At 12 years old the car has 113 542 miles, an average of roughly 9 462 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The mileage between 8 October 2024 and 1 November 2025 rose by 17 729 miles, about 1 480 miles per month, higher than the long‑term average but still within a reasonable range for a used vehicle. Earlier intervals show a steady increase in annual mileage, with no significant gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should focus on the components that have repeatedly failed: tyre tread depth (both front and rear), suspension arm pins and rear suspension arms (notably corrosion on the anti‑roll bar ball joint and the rear arms), front coil springs (fractures recorded in 2021 and 2023), brake pads and discs (thin pads and pitted discs noted in 2022 and 2023), and the front strut top bearing (reported as noisy in 2022). Additionally, check the voicemail for any fluid leaks in the rear shock absorbers, inspect wiper blades for wear, and verify that all tyre tread depths meet the legal 1.6 mm minimum. A thorough inspection of these items will confirm whether the recurring faults have been fully resolved or still require attention.
