2021 Audi Q3 S Line VOR 45 Tfsi Quat S-A 2.0L Petrol · RY21 NKW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in August 2025 at 41,049 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two weeks prior. While the car currently meets legal standards, the transition from a failure to a pass within such a short window suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical and safety issues when they threatened the annual MOT certification. The mileage profile of 41,049 miles over five years reflects an average of approximately 8,210 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a premium SUV. There is a clear gap of 6,888 miles between the July 2024 test at 33,705 miles and the July 2025 test at 40,593 miles. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle was used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which generally benefits the rubber components and braking systems by preventing seizing or long intervals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system and tyres. The July 2025 failure flagged a worn offside rear brake pad with a thin inner pad, indicating that the braking components were reaching the end of their service life. Furthermore, the tester noted a cut on the offside rear tyre reaching the cords, which is a significant safety risk. You must verify that these tyres have been replaced with high-quality units and that the brake pads and discs have been properly serviced since the most recent pass. The windscreen remains a recurring issue, with a chip noted in both the 2024 and 2025 records. While the tester determined this did not adversely affect the driver's view, chips in toughened glass are prone to rapid spreading under thermal stress. The deterioration of the central rear registration plate noted in August 2025 is a minor cosmetic defect but should be checked to ensure it remains legible to avoid future failures.
