2018 Audi Q3 1.4L Petrol · YY18 ELJ

The 2018 Audi Q3 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 24 March 2026 test at 65,214 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical faults. The most recent pass follows a same-day failure on 24 March 2026 showing no defects, mirroring a 19 March 2025 failure at 56,200 miles with no defects before a pass two days later. These paired fail-pass entries suggest clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than any deterioration in the car's condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,150 miles per year against the 65,214 recorded on the clock, which is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 47,231 miles in March 2024, 56,200 in March 2025, and 65,214 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The sparse three-year trail with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion points to light use and consistent upkeep, though the brevity of the record limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Q3's age and the absence of any advisory history to confirm hidden wear. The repeated no-defect failures without stated reasons warrant a check of the V5C and test certificates to rule out mileage discrepancy or documentation errors at the MOT centre. Verify the condition of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, as these fall outside mandatory failure reporting when within limits but degrade with standing time.
