Our Verdict

A reasonable option for those seeking a

When inspecting this specific white Audi Q3, your primary focus should be on the braking system. The MOT history from 2024, 2025, and 2026 consistently flags thinning brake pads and worn or pitted discs on both the front and rear axles. You should negotiate the sale price to account for a full brake service (pads and discs) if this hasn't been addressed since the April 2026 test.

Additionally, check the tyre condition thoroughly. The 2024 MOT noted an offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues. Ensure the current tyres have even wear across the tread to rule out suspension or tracking problems. Finally, verify if the service intervals for this 2.0L diesel engine have been met, as MOT records do not confirm maintenance history.

As a 2.0L diesel (EURO 6), this Q3 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will depend on your specific insurance group and tax band. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel SUV in this class.

Maintenance costs for Audi components can be higher than for non-premium brands. Given the recurring advisories for brakes, you should expect to budget for these consumables more frequently. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,500-£1,900.

The most critical area to inspect is the braking hardware. The MOT history shows a trend of 'pads wearing thin' and 'discs worn, pitted or scored' across multiple years. Look for any signs of metal shavings or excessive dust around the wheels, and listen for any grinding noises during test drives.

Secondly, inspect the tyres. The 2024 MOT failure for an inner tyre edge suggests you should check the current tread depth specifically on the inner edges of the front tyres to ensure the vehicle is tracking straight. Lastly, check the general condition of the exterior, as the white paintwork should be inspected for any significant stone chips or scratches common on highway-driven diesel vehicles.

This 2021 Audi Q3 40TDI presents with 25,515 miles on the clock, which is lower than the model average of 9,039 miles per year. While the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of advisories regarding brake components and tyres, the vehicle has maintained a passing record across all three recorded tests. The recent 2026 MOT indicates that the braking system requires attention.

Based on an analysis of 219 vehicles, this model has a high MOT pass rate of 92.8%, though common issues in the wider sample include tyre and washer issues.
