2019 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · SV19 WDF

Brake‑disc wear has been the most consistent advisory theme, with both front and rear discs flagged as pitted or scored in the May 2025 MOT, yet the vehicle has never failed a test and the latest May 2026 inspection recorded a clean pass. Tyre condition also recurs, moving from front‑inner tread wear close to the legal limit in May 2022 to slight cracking on both rear tyres in September 2023, but again without a failure. This pattern suggests normal consumable wear rather than a chronic fault, and the MOT history shows an overall stable roadworthiness record. At 53,732 mi over roughly seven years the average annual mileage sits around 7,700 mi, which aligns with typical private‑use levels. MOTs have been conducted roughly annually, with no significant gaps that would hint at prolonged storage or unusually low use. The mileage progression therefore points to regular, moderate driving rather than high‑stress or idle periods, meaning wear on consumables such as brakes and tyres is to be expected for a vehicle of this age. Prospective buyers should give the brake system close attention. Although the discs were only advisory in 2025, the pitting and scoring noted could be approaching the point where replacement is advisable; inspect disc thickness with a micrometer, listen for any metallic squeal or pulsation under braking, and feel for pedal judder that may indicate uneven wear. The calipers and pads should also be checked for uneven wear patterns or leaking fluid, as these can accelerate disc deterioration. Tyre inspection must focus on the areas previously flagged. Verify that front‑inner tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm legal minimum and that sidewalls show no cracking, bulging or perishing, especially on the rear tyres noted in 2023. During a test drive, watch for vibration at higher speeds, which can betray low or uneven tread, and feel for any pull to one side that might indicate uneven wear or alignment issues. A comprehensive pre‑purchase check of the brake discs, pads, and all four tyres, together with a brief road‑test for steering feel and suspension noises, will address the only recurring concerns highlighted by the MOT record.
