2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · OR62 OCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 79,884 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car consistently achieves a pass immediately following a failure. This pattern suggests that the previous owners are proactive in addressing identified defects once they are flagged by the tester, though the recurring failures indicate that components are frequently reaching the end of their operational limit and requiring immediate intervention to rectify. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 4,000 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by a more rapid increase of 12,554 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This surge in usage explains the increased frequency of mechanical checks, as higher mileage places greater strain on wear components and braking systems. The overall data suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. While the record shows no persistent structural failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension assembly and brake components. Given the history of failures followed by passes, it is vital to check for wear on control arm bushes, shock absorber leaks, and play in the steering linkage. The braking system should also be examined for uneven wear on the discs or binding calipers, as these are common reasons for MOT-related failures in vehicles of this age. Checking the chassis for surface corrosion around mounting points is also necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
