2020 Audi Q3 S Line 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · ML70 AEF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-10 at 21,770 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2024-07-25 test at 16,829 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting an unresolved issue that was later resolved by the 2024-08-01 test. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies a stable condition, but the unexplained failure raises questions about the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. The mileage progression shows a significant jump from 10,474 miles in 2023 to 16,829 miles by 2024-07-25, followed by minimal usage until 2025. This pattern—low annual mileage (3,628 miles) for a six-year-old vehicle—suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can affect fluid integrity, battery health, and component corrosion. The 2024-08-01 test at 16,856 miles occurred just six days after the failed test, raising questions about the validity of the initial failure. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s electrical systems, battery condition, and fluid levels, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. Inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of age-related stiffness. The unexplained 2024 failure warrants scrutiny, particularly if the owner lacks documentation of repairs. No structural or brake-related defects were recorded, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of the exhaust system and corrosion resistance in high-risk areas.
