2016 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SS16 OFL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the record indicates a period of inconsistency regarding compliance. The most recent MOT test on 23 August 2022 at 77,463 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following two immediate failures during that same month. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is nearly four years overdue for its annual safety inspection, representing a significant gap in official testing that leaves the current state of the mechanical and safety components unverified. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of 15,768 miles between the August 2020 test at 45,577 miles and the July 2021 test at 61,345 miles. Another 16,128 miles were covered between the 2021 and August 2022 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle was used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals and prevents fluid-relatedrelated degradation. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection due to the lack of recent data and the previous history of MOT failures. The two failures in August 2022, despite being followed by a pass, suggest the vehicle previously required remedial work to meet standards, likely involving worn components. Attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on Audis of this mileage. Since no tests have been recorded in four years, the condition of the brake discs, calipers for binding, and the structural integrity of the chassis must be checked to ensure no significant corrosion has developed since the last recorded inspection.
