2015 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · YG65 FXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 with 74,450 miles and no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a history of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent test indicates a clean sheet, the preceding years reveal a persistent pattern of wear on suspension and braking components that were only addressed once they reached the threshold of failure or high-priority advisory. At 74,450 miles, this 11-year-old Audi averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the annual tests, with roughly 2,200 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 inspections. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low mileage may not have prevented the degradation of rubber components or the onset of surface corrosion seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The front lower arm rear bushes were flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, and the rear spring arms showed corrosion in two consecutive years. You should verify that these parts were actually replaced with high-quality components rather than merely cleaned or lubricated. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the history notes thin pads, pitted discs, and a binding rear caliper between 2023 and 2024. The 2024 failure due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light indicates a past electrical or sensor fault that required rectification, which should be double-checked to ensure no fault codes remain active. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding front tyres worn on the edges points to potential alignment issues caused by the aforementioned worn bushes. Given the recurring nature of the suspension faults, a professional alignment check and a structural inspection of the arms are essential to ensure the reported corrosion has not progressed beyond what was noted in previous tests.
