2013 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SC13 UXO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 110,656 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in mid-2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple mechanical and electronic issues, the subsequent clean passes over the last eighteen months indicate that the current owner addressed the primary faults to bring the car back to standard. At 110,656 miles over 13 years, the Audi Q3 has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a premium SUV. The data shows consistent use, with nearly 12,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 8,000 miles between May 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and preventing fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and the front suspension. The May 2024 failure highlighted pitted rear discs, thin pads, and fluctuating brake pressure, while the 2025 advisory noted all four tyres were near the legal limit. These points suggest high wear on consumables. The misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in 2024 should be re-checked to ensure the seal has not perished and the oil has not leaked out, requiring immediate replacement. Electronic health also requires attention given the 2024 failure for an inoperative engine management system light and an electronic stability control fault. Although the vehicle passed the following tests, a buyer should monitor the dashboard for any recurring warning lamps that might indicate intermittent sensor failures. The previous wiper failure in 2024 is a minor concern, but ensuring the blades and motor clear the glass effectively is essential for safety.
