2014 Audi Q3 2.0L Petrol · YW63 EDU

The 2014 Audi Q3 passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 91,696 miles, but the record reveals a maintenance pattern that has deteriorated noticeably over the past two years. The June 2026 test flagged a slightly damaged or perishing nearside rear tyre and a missing front review mirror, while the June 2025 test carried four separate advisories covering both rear tyres and both front brake discs. A clean pass with zero defects in July 2023 at 75,015 miles stands in stark contrast to the accumulating advisories since, suggesting the vehicle has received less attentive upkeep as it has aged. The trend is clearly worsening rather than stable, with tyre and brake wear issues recurring across consecutive tests. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between July 2023 and June 2026, the car covered roughly 16,681 miles in just under three years, averaging approximately 5,560 miles per annum. That is slightly below the 7,641 miles per year implied by the overall 91,696-mile total over twelve years, indicating the car may have seen lighter recent use or spent periods standing. The annual test intervals are regular and well documented, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance that would raise odometer concerns. The data set is clean and complete from 2023 onward. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres, particularly the sidewalls for cracking and the tread for uneven edge wear, which has appeared repeatedly across both axles. The front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in June 2025, so a visual check for lipping, scoring, and thickness variation is warranted, along with an assessment of pad life. The missing front review mirror noted in the June 2026 test should be verified as replaced, and the surrounding trim and door card inspected for damage that may have caused its loss. The split nearside front CV boot identified in the July 2024 failure was presumably repaired to secure the subsequent pass, but the joint itself should be checked for play or clicking under full lock, as a neglected split boot leads to premature joint failure and costly replacement. Beyond the advisory items, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines is advisable given the vehicle's age, along with a test drive to assess suspension bush condition and any drivetrain vibration that could point to neglected CV joints or imbalanced tyres.
