2020 Audi Q3 S Line 35 Tfsi 1.5L Petrol · ML70 HWX

A pattern of clean recent roadworthiness follows a period of tyre-related advisories in late 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has transitioned into a period of consistent compliance. The most recent inspection on 11 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results from the 2025 and 2024 tests. This trend indicates that the issues identified during the September 2023 test, which primarily concerned tyre condition and a puncture, have been addressed and have not recurred in subsequent annual inspections. The vehicle exhibits a low annual mileage profile, having covered approximately 30,582 miles over its six-year lifespan. This averages to roughly 5,097 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK national average. While this lower accumulation generally implies less wear on high-friction components such as brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes, it also necessitates an inspection for signs of components ageing due to inactivity rather than mechanical wear. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre history noted in the 2023 advisory, which flagged cracking or perishing across all four tyres alongside a nail in the offside rear. Although the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests show no further issues, it is essential to inspect the sidewalls and tread depth of the current tyres for any signs of dry rot or uneven wear. During a test drive, listen for rhythmic thumping or humming noises that could indicate tyre deformation or uneven tread wear, and check for any steering pull that might suggest recent alignment issues following the previous tyre replacements. Given the low usage, further scrutiny should be applied to the braking system and suspension to ensure that components have not seized or become stiff from infrequent use. Listen for any clicking or knocking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces, which could indicate issues with suspension linkages or bushes, and feel for any binding or unevenness in the brake pedal application. While the MOT record is currently clear of structural or fluid leak defects, verifying the condition of rubber seals and hoses is a prudent step for a vehicle with this specific mileage-to-age ratio.
