2019 Audi Q8 3.0L Diesel · RE69 MVC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first sign of degradation in braking component condition. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 70,585 miles passed, it introduced the first advisory in a series of clean records. The tester flagged both nearside and offside rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, indicating that the components are reaching the end of their effective life or suffering from surface corrosion. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 39,787 miles in October 2022 to 70,585 miles in December 2025. This consistent usage suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often accelerates seal degradation. The lack of defects recorded between 2022 and 2024 indicates that the vehicle generally maintained a high mechanical standard during that interval. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine if the pitting and scoring on the discs have progressed beyond minor surface rust. Given the advisory, replacement of the rear discs and pads is likely imminent to ensure optimal stopping performance and prevent caliper binding. You should also check the suspension bushings and control arms for wear, as the 70,000-mile threshold often sees rubber components begin to perish. No structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures have appeared in the history, suggesting the chassis remains sound.
