2017 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · OV67 OCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 149,777 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before a retest. The subsequent history shows a string of clean passes with no recorded advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum standards for road operation. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a nine-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 16,600 miles annually. There is a significant surge in usage between December 2023 (135,040 miles) and January 2025 (144,917 miles), covering nearly 10,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rate remained high, with another 5,000 miles logged between January 2025 and October 2025. Such consistent high-mileage places accelerated stress on heavy-duty components like as drivetrain bushings and the suspension assembly. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the nearly 150,000-mile mark, check for perished rubber control arm bushes and worn shock absorbers. The braking system requires close scrutiny for uneven disc thinning or signs of caliper binding, as high-frequency driving increases thermal load on the system. Although the MOT record lacks structural advisories, a thorough underbody check for corrosion is necessary to ensure the chassis remains sound despite the heavy annual use.
