2019 Audi Q3 1.5L Petrol · YF19 HST

The 2019 Audi Q3 presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 2025-10-02 at 45,359 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly consistent, though a recurring advisory pattern on the nearside rear tyre suggests a persistent issue that has not been permanently resolved. The vehicle passed its latest test with only one advisory, indicating no serious structural or mechanical deterioration at that time. The mileage accumulation is roughly typical for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,480 miles per year. The annual tests show steady progression from 14,827 miles in July 2022 through to 28,246 miles in October 2024, with the final recorded reading of 45,359 miles taken at the October 2025 test. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests covers approximately 17,000 miles in just under twelve months, which is notably higher than the earlier annual averages and suggests a period of heavier use. No significant gaps or anomalies appear in the test record itself. The most notable pattern in the history is the repeated advisory on the nearside rear tyre, flagged in three of the four recorded tests. In September 2023 at 17,653 miles and October 2024 at 28,246 miles, the tester noted cracking or perishing on that tyre. By October 2025 at 45,359 miles, the advisory shifted to wear close to the legal limit and edge wear on the same wheel. This progression suggests either a persistent alignment or suspension geometry issue affecting that corner, or simply that the same wheel has been prone to tyre degradation without the underlying cause being addressed. A buyer should inspect the nearside rear suspension components, including the shock absorber, bushes, and alignment settings, and check for any uneven wear patterns on the tyre sidewall and tread. Beyond the tyre advisory, the MOT record is clean with no failures or structural corrosion flagged across all four tests. The vehicle appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no brake, exhaust, or steering defects recorded. A buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the underside for corrosion, check all four tyres for age-related cracking given the vehicle's age, and verify that the nearside rear wheel alignment and suspension are in specification before purchase.
