2022 Audi Q3 S Line 35 TDI S A
CarHunch analysed 384 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi Q3 S Line 35 TDI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Q3 S Line is a strong performer, with a 92.1% first-time pass rate that significantly outpaces the UK average of 80%, and only 5.2% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect—well below typical concern levels. You're looking at a diesel unit that's proving genuinely reliable in its early years.
At just under 30,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively fresh, and they're backing that up with minimal failures (0.09 per vehicle) and modest advisory counts (1.1 per vehicle), suggesting Audi's build quality is holding up as expected. Before committing, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel particulate filter and turbo health, as these are high-value components where early intervention beats costly failure later.
What to check before buying a 2022 Audi Q3 S Line 35 TDI S A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
