2014 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SA14 STZ

The 2014 Audi Q3 presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 19 October 2025 at 136,759 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded, leaving the certificate valid until late October 2026 and fresh against today's date. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, showing consecutive clean passes from June 2022 through to the latest examination. A single anomaly appears in a failure dated 31 May 2023 at 121,108 miles, yet the tester logged no defects and the vehicle passed two days later on 2 June 2023 at 121,196 miles, indicating the earlier result carried no mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 136,759 against a twelve-year lifespan as of July 2026, equating to roughly 11,400 miles per annum and matching typical use for this model age. The odometer advanced from 117,070 miles at the 17 June 2022 test to 121,196 by June 2023, a modest 4,126-mile year. Subsequent intervals show 131,551 miles on 13 November 2024 and 136,759 on 19 October 2025, revealing consistent private-use accumulation with no rapid surge or extended dormancy. The sparse five-entry record contains no advisories, suggesting previous owners pursued timely statutory testing though the absence of intermediate checks leaves minor wear undocumented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the distance travelled beyond 130,000 miles. The Q3's MacPherson struts and rear torsion beam commonly exhibit perished rubber mounts by this age; the clean MOT slate does not exempt those components from fatigue. Examine subframe and sills for corrosion, particularly inside wheel arches where road salt gathers. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades despite no recorded deficiencies, as consumables rotate between tests. The brief 2023 failure with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA portal for any suppressed rationale, but the swift pass implies no lasting concern. Overall, the vehicle's documented history supports a sound purchase subject to routine pre-sale scrutiny.
