2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · MM65 ENA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 68,986 miles passed, yet revealed multiple advisories regarding the nearside front tyre and a severely deteriorated drive shaft CV boot. This follows a significant failure in February 2025 where all four brake assemblies and two tyres required immediate attention, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach the point of legal test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 16,455 miles between the April 2023 test at 36,684 miles and the May 2024 test at 53,139 miles. While the low annual mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the aging rubber components and tyres are suffering, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking issues noted in the 2025 and 2026 records. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system as the record shows a recurring history of worn and pitted discs dating back to 2023. The 2025 failure on all four corners for pads and discs suggests the components are being run to their absolute limit of life. Furthermore, the severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot identified in February 2026 requires immediate replacement to prevent grease leakage and eventual expensive drive shaft failure. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of all suspension rubber and tyres is necessary to identify further dry rot or cracking that the low mileage might otherwise mask.
