2018 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SB18 ABN

The 2018 Audi Q3 presents a clean roadworthiness status following the most recent DVSA test on 19 March 2026 at 59,796 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Prior to this, the March 2025 and March 2024 tests each show a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, indicating administrative rejections rather than genuine mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 59,796 over roughly eight years, equating to about 7,474 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age and suggests moderate, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or high-stress driving. The gap between the 22 March 2024 test at 48,535 miles and the 27 March 2025 test at 51,970 miles shows only 3,435 miles covered in a year, with a further 7,826 miles added by March 2026. The sparse record contains no rapid accumulation or unusual drops that would point to odometer concerns or neglected storage. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the MOT data implies previous owners kept the car to a sound standard with no skipped consumable replacements. The same-day fails in 2024 and 2025 with no defects suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station, not underlying wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain components, as the DVSA record alone cannot confirm hidden internal condition. In person, the buyer should verify the underbody for structural rust and check the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for age-related degradation not yet at advisory threshold. The braking system, though unflagged, warrants a measured check of caliper operation and disc wear given the low annual mileage may have allowed surface pitting. Confirm service history aligns with the recorded mileages before completion.
