Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
Before committing to a purchase, ensure that the suspension issues noted in the October 2025 MOT—specifically the worn pins and splitting bushes on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arms—have been professionally rectified. Ask for a printed invoice confirming these specific repairs were completed to a standard that meets MOT requirements.
Additionally, verify that the headlight aim has been corrected, as the 2025 failure noted both nearside and offside headlamps were aimed too low or incorrectly. Check the service history for regular oil changes, which is vital for the 1.4L petrol engine, and inspect the condition of the rear registration plate, as previous records show it has deteriorated in the past.
The 1395cc petrol engine is generally efficient for an SUV of this size, offering reasonable fuel economy for mixed driving. As a 2015 model, the tax band will depend on the specific CO2 emissions, but typically sits in a mid-range bracket for this era.
Maintenance costs for an Audi Q3 can be higher than for non-premium brands, particularly when addressing suspension components like the bushes and arms identified in the recent MOT. Expect typical maintenance costs to include periodic brake disc and tyre replacements, which are common failure points for this model type according to aggregate data.
Focus your physical inspection on the front suspension area. Given the 2025 MOT failure, look for any signs of weeping from shock absorbers or excessive play in the lower suspension arms. Even if repaired, check that there are no lingering noises when driving over uneven surfaces.
Check the headlight alignment manually if possible, or look for evidence of recent adjustment. You should also inspect the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as these are statistically the most common failure reasons for this model across the wider dataset. Finally, check the rear registration plate to ensure it is clear and not showing the deterioration noted in the 2022 and 2023 MOT tests.
This 2015 Audi Q3, finished in white, has covered 56,760 miles since its first registration in November 2015. The MOT history shows a generally clean record through 2024, but the most recent test in October 2025 resulted in a failure due to suspension wear and headlight alignment issues. The vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is slightly below the model average of 8,000.
The Audi Q3 shows an 86% average MOT pass rate across the aggregate data, with common issues often relating to anti-roll bars, tyres, and brake discs.
