2019 Audi Q3 Sport 35 TDI S A

CarHunch analysed 173 real MOT records for the 2019 Audi Q3 Sport 35 TDI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Audi Q3 Sport 35 TDI is a genuinely reliable diesel – it passes its MOT first time in 95.4% of cases, well ahead of the 80% UK average, and only 8.7% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is low. This is a well-built vehicle that holds up consistently across the sample.

At just over 45,000 miles median, these cars are running low mileage for their age, suggesting careful ownership; the average of 0.23 failures per vehicle confirms most get through MOT without significant issues, though the 2.3 advisories per car indicate routine wear items like brake pads and filters creeping in. If you're considering one, budget for minor consumables but don't expect major surprises – a pre-purchase inspection is still sensible, but these figures suggest the risk is well below average.

What to check before buying a 2019 Audi Q3 Sport 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.
