2019 Audi Q3 S Line 45 Tfsi Quattro S-A 2.0L Petrol · RA51 CRA

A pattern of emerging brake component wear is the primary mechanical consideration for this vehicle, following its most recent pass on 21 November 2025. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2022, the latest inspection introduced advisories regarding the rear braking system, specifically noting a worn, pitted, or scored rear brake disc alongside an offside rear inner brake pad that is wearing thin. This indicates a shift from the clean results seen in 2024 toward a requirement for upcoming consumable replacement, marking a transition in the vehicle's maintenance cycle. The recorded mileage of 25,515 miles against a 2019 registration represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 3,645 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which can result in less frequent mechanical exercise. While lower mileage generally implies less wear on high-friction components like the drivetrain and suspension, it can also contribute to the specific issues noted in the MOT history, such as the tyre perishing flagged in 2023 and the surface pitting on the brake discs recorded in 2025, both of which can occur when a vehicle is used sparingly or undergoes long periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system to assess the extent of the reported wear. During a test drive, pay close attention to any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal when applying pressure, which can indicate disc thickness variation or warping. Listen for any high-pitched squealing or grinding noises from the rear of the vehicle, particularly during low-speed braking, which would confirm the thinness of the brake pads or the severity of the disc scoring. It is also advisable to check for any uneven pulling to one side under braking, which could suggest a binding caliper or uneven pad wear. Further attention should be directed toward the tyres, given the previous advisory regarding cracking and perishing on both front tyres in 2023. Although no recent tyre advisories were recorded in 2025, the low annual mileage increases the likelihood of age-related rubber degradation regardless of tread depth. Inspect the sidewalls and tread grooves for any signs of fine cracking or weathering. Ensuring the tyres are relatively fresh will be essential to maintaining the handling characteristics expected of a Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
