2011 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · S5 GEC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear-related components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 110,273 miles flagged multiple pressing issues, including front tyres worn close to the legal limit and thinning rear brake pads. While the car passed, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached the point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At approximately 110,273 miles, this 15-year-old Audi has averaged roughly 7,350 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is steady, with intervals of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 miles recorded between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. This consistent use indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low mileage relative to its age means rubber components and seals are subject to significantrelated degradation. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension. The record shows pitted and scored front brake discs appearing consistently from 2022 through to 2024, and the 2025 advisory confirms thin pads now require attention. Furthermore, the light misting on the nearside front shock absorber has persisted since 2021 at 82,093 miles, indicating the seals are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The previously noted oil leak mentioned in 2022 also warrants a close look to ensure it has not developed into a more significant leak that could compromise engine health.
