2018 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · TT63 ALX

The 2018 Audi Q3 has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 24 June 2025, with no defects recorded at 48,191 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained over the past year, though the 2023 test at 40,042 miles revealed minor but notable brake disc wear on both front inner calipers—classified as pitted or scored but not critically weakened. The absence of further brake-related advisories or failures since then implies either corrective action was taken or the condition stabilised without progression. The most recent test’s clean pass indicates no recent issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or structural integrity, though these components remain critical areas for independent verification. The recorded mileage of 48,191 miles over eight years reflects an average of approximately 6,024 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage profile. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2022 to 2023 interval (35,971 to 40,042 miles) spans 14 months, suggesting either lighter usage or a period of storage. The consistency in mileage accumulation between tests—around 4,000 miles per year—indicates no extreme wear patterns, though the lack of service records means internal maintenance (timing belts, fluid changes, or drivetrain inspections) cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Given the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the front brake calipers and discs, particularly the inner components, to confirm whether the 2023 pitting has been addressed or if uneven wear persists. The suspension system—including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for signs of deterioration, as these are common wear items not always captured in MOT tests. Corrosion around wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust mounts warrants close scrutiny, especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, the exhaust emissions system should be checked for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as these are not always flagged until they reach a critical threshold. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude underlying issues, so a thorough mechanical inspection is advised.
