2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SO15 BPY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 87,647 miles. While the history shows two instances of failure, these were rectified immediately in subsequent passes without a pattern of recurring mechanical or structural defects. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard and that the previous owner has been proactive in addressing any issues raised by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. A notable gap of 11,885 miles occurred between August 2024 and September 2025, contrasted with the more regular interval of 12,050 miles recorded between August 2023 and August 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly for longer-distance trips rather than sitting stationary for extended periods or used solely for short city distances, which helps preserve the rubber components and engine seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as these are the most common areas of wear on an Audi Q3 of this vintage. Although the MOT record shows no current structural advisories, the mileage indicates that the control arm bushes and coil springs may be nearing the end of their optimal life. Given the vehicle's age, checking for brake caliper corrosion and the condition of the brake discs is advisable to ensure no uneven binding has occurred that was missed during the standard MOT test.
