2017 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · RD56 DEC

The 2017 Audi Q3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 41,112 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 9 January 2025 at 41,093 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle carries no outstanding advisories or recurring mechanical faults across its documented history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 41,112 miles against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 4,568 miles per year. The test on 24 February 2023 at 24,224 miles preceded a failed attempt on 23 February 2023 at identical mileage with no defects logged, pointing to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. From February 2023 to March 2024 the odometer advanced 9,469 miles, then rose only 7,419 miles to January 2025 and a mere 19 miles by August 2025, revealing a sharp slowdown in use over the final eight months. The sparse and clean record gives the buyer little to act on from a fault standpoint. Low annual mileage combined with the 19-mile gap between the last two tests suggests the car stood largely idle in late 2024 and early 2025. A vehicle left stationary for extended periods can develop perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs without triggering an MOT advisory. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm underbody structural integrity for corrosion, check brake calipers for binding after the long idle, and verify tyre sidewall condition and tread. The absence of historical defects does not exempt the buyer from assessing consumable wear linked to low-use storage patterns.
