2012 Audi Q3 2.0L Diesel · YL12 EXP

The most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 73,899 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains road‑worthy. Across the five annual tests the absence of advisories or failures indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of deteriorating components. Mileage has risen from 61,219 miles on 8 February 2022 to 73,899 miles on 20 February 2026, an average increase of roughly 3,200 miles per year. For a 2012 model this equates to about 5,300 miles annually, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The incremental growth between each test—70,442 miles in January 2025, 66,803 miles in February 2024, 64,086 miles in February 2023—shows no sudden spikes that would suggest periods of heavy loading or abuse. Although the MOT record reveals no recorded faults, a prospective buyer should still examine wear items that the test does not capture. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify that brake pads and discs are within service limits, and feel for any play in the suspension bushes or coil springs. A visual check for corrosion around the wheel arches, undercarriage, and chassis joints will confirm the structural integrity suggested by the clean MOT history. A brief road test will reveal whether the steering feels tight or exhibits any binding, and listening for abnormal noises from the exhaust or drivetrain can uncover latent issues. Confirm that all lights, indicators, and safety equipment operate correctly, and ensure that the service history aligns with the low‑mileage profile demonstrated in the MOT entries.
