Our Verdict
This is a solid used buy with a clean recent MOT record and sensible mileage for its age. The only caution is minor tyre and steering wear noted in 2023, which has since been resolved or not flagged again.
When viewing this grey 2016 Q3, ask for full service history to confirm the 2.0-litre diesel engine has been maintained on schedule, as no aggregate reliability data is available for the model. Use the 2023 advisories as a negotiating point — confirm the rear tyres were replaced and the offside front steering rack end play was inspected, even though the 2024 and 2025 tests recorded no defects. Given the 1968cc diesel, check that the DPF and emissions systems are functioning, particularly if the car has been used mainly for short trips.
As a diesel with a 1968cc engine, this Q3 will typically return good fuel economy for an SUV, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Road tax and insurance group are not specified, but diesel Q3 models of this era generally sit in a mid-to-higher insurance bracket. Typical annual maintenance for a 2016 premium diesel SUV should be budgeted alongside fuel, tax and cover; based on the clean MOT history, no major upcoming costs are flagged.
The 2023 MOT noted near-side and off-side rear tyres slightly damaged or perishing and off-side front inner steering rack end with slight play — physically check all four tyres for cracking and the front steering for any residual play. The 2025 test recorded no defects, so these items appear resolved, but a fresh inspection confirms condition. Otherwise, inspect the bodywork on this grey example for parking marks and confirm the diesel engine starts cleanly with no warning lights.
The 2016 Audi Q3 diesel (YY66AHZ) has covered 72,474 miles as of its December 2025 MOT, which is reasonable for a nine-year-old SUV. Its MOT history shows four passes with no defects and one pass in 2023 with minor advisories for tyre cracking and slight steering rack play. No MOT failures are recorded, and the most recent test in 2025 showed a completely clean result.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Audi Q3, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
