2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · PY66 OAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 123,970 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a trend of clean results over the previous three years, suggesting that the owners have addressed any emerging issues before they escalated into MOT test failures. The mileage pattern reflects high-frequency motorway use, averaging approximately 12,400 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between July 2021 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 17,071 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 7,700 miles annually. The gap between the June 2022 test and October 2023 test shows a slight deviation in the testing interval, but the overall usage remains consistent. This high annual mileage places significant mechanical stress on the drivetrain components and suspension assemblies compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. Given the high mileage and the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on the integrity of the suspension bushings and braking system. While the record shows no recurring binding calipers or structural corrosion, the mileage suggests that shock absorbers and control arms may be nearing the end of their functional life. The buyer should check for signs of oil leaks around the engine and uneven wear on the tyres, as the MOT does not detect minor fluid leaks or alignment issues. The single recorded fault of a nail in a tyre in 2021 was a minor consumable issue and does not indicate a broader pattern of mechanical neglect.
