2017 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · SW17 DZL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on July 30, 2025, 61,766 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability interrupted by a significant failure just one day prior, where the tester flagged an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system and a nearside front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. While these issues were clearly rectified immediately to secure the subsequent pass, the failure suggests a lack of pre-test inspection or oversight regarding basic safety consumables by the owner. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. There is a gap of 7,386 miles between the April 2024 test at 50,880 miles and the July 2025 test at 61,766 miles, which indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation. This low mileage generally benefits the drivetrain and engine, but the frequency of use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components despite the relatively low odometer reading. A buyer should focus inspection on the suspension and braking systems based on historical data from the April 2022 test at 36,691 miles. That record identified all four brake discs as being pitted or scored, alongside a fluctuating rear service brake. Additionally, both front lower suspension arm bushes showed signs of wear. Although these specific faults did not reappear in subsequent tests, the recurring nature of brake wear on this vehicle warrants a physical check for seized calipers or uneven pad wear to ensure the components have not deteriorated since the last recorded issues.
