2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SF66 AAT

The Audi Q3 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent examination on 1 April 2026 at 97,466 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. Across the five annual tests from September 2022 through April 2026, the maintenance trend remains entirely stable, with every inspection returning a pass and zero advisories. This consistent record indicates the previous owners addressed any wear before each test and kept the vehicle to a standard exceeding the minimum legal requirement. The mileage progression aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car covered 62,870 miles by 6 September 2022, then 71,371 by 11 September 2023, 81,930 by 20 September 2024, 92,045 by 18 September 2025, and 97,466 by 1 April 2026. That equates to roughly 9,700 miles per year, a modest figure suggesting gentle commuting rather than harsh high-load duty. No significant gaps appear; the 2026 test arrived seven months after the prior September date, yet the 5,421-mile increase over that shorter span stays within the established average. Despite the unblemished MOT history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of key mechanical and structural components before purchase. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or brake disc wear across the record, but such items can degrade between tests without triggering an advisory. At 97,466 miles, the Q3's original dampers and anti-roll bar linkages warrant physical examination for play or fluid leakage. Likewise, the absence of corrosion or exhaust emission failures in the DVSA data does not preclude early structural rust on sills or subframes nor subtle catalyst efficiency loss. The previous owners' clean test portfolio implies disciplined servicing, yet consumables like tyres and wiper blades fall outside MOT scope when above limits. Verify service stamps, interrogate the DSG gearbox and Haldex coupling if fitted, and confirm genuine mileage alignment during the viewing.
