2021 Audi Q3 S LN Vsprung 35 TDI Quat SA 2.0L Diesel · X1 BJM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 28,644 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test introduces the first mechanical advisory in the car's history. The tester flagged light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber, which indicates the early stages of a seal failure. The mileage is notably low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,729 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between the March 2025 test at 16,896 miles and the March 2026 test at 28,644 miles, where the car covered nearly 12,000 miles in a single year. This represents a sharp rise compared to the 3,146 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension. While oil misting is a common advisory, it can progress to a full leak, necessitating a shock absorber replacement to maintain handling and tyre wear. Because the car has spent significant time with very low annual mileage, checking for perished rubber components or flat spots on the tyres is advisable. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no history of structural corrosion or brake issues. The recent spike in mileage means the current state of consumables, such as brake pads and tyre tread, should be verified against the 28,644 mile reading to ensure they have not been worn down rapidly during the last twelve months.
