2018 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · WP18 ADU

The 2018 Audi Q3 has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-06 at 105,132 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a failed test on 2025-02-20 at the same mileage—despite no defects being listed—raises questions about procedural accuracy or potential unresolved issues. The preceding 2025-02-21 test at 99,330 miles also passed without defects, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance in recent years. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, though the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,132 miles over eight years equates to an average of 13,142 miles annually, which is notably high. A significant jump from 63,247 miles in 2023 to 88,370 miles in 2024—over 25,000 miles in 12 months—indicates rapid usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. Subsequent growth to 99,330 miles by 2025 and 105,132 miles in 2026 suggests sustained high-mileage operation, which may have impacted consumables and drivetrain longevity. The sparse defect data in the MOT history does not confirm whether these patterns have led to mechanical degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be scrutinised, as rapid mileage can exacerbate fatigue in these areas. While no structural rust or major faults are documented, the absence of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is critical to verify the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT record.
