2015 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · MV65 GKL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in September 2025 at 77,866 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of mechanical neglect was addressed. While the car failed its August 2024 test due to a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber, the subsequent pass without defects indicates that the necessary repairs were carried out to a professional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Data shows steady accumulation between tests, moving from 48,254 miles in August 2022 to 58,340 miles in 2023, and then to 68,548 miles in August 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly given the recorded history of damper issues. The 2023 test at 58,340 miles flagged light misting on both front shock absorbers, which progressed to a terminal failure by the following year. Although the tyres were subsequently replaced, the uneven edge wear noted in 2023 suggests potential lingering alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Check the current condition of the control arm bushings and joints to ensure the previous shock failure did not cause secondary wear to the steering geometry.
