Moderate sample. 355 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2022 Audi Q3 is a genuinely reliable performer, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.8%—nearly 15 percentage points above the UK average of 80%—and only 2.2% of vehicles showing dangerous defects, well below concerning territory. The petrol engine variant dominates the cohort and maintains that excellent pass rate across the board.

At just under 23,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly driven, which explains why they're averaging only 0.06 failures per vehicle and 0.7 advisories. When issues do crop up, they're typically minor wear items rather than structural problems—a buyer should still get a pre-purchase inspection done, but this model's track record suggests you're not walking into a mechanical minefield.

The 2022 Audi Q3 S Ln Blk Ed 40 TFSI Quat SA passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
