2023 Audi Q3 Sport 35 TDI S A

CarHunch is tracking 154 2023 Audi Q3 Sport 35 TDI S A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Q3 Sport diesel is failing MOT at an alarming rate—just 4.2% pass on first attempt against the UK average of 80%—which is a massive red flag for any prospective buyer. While dangerous defects haven't been recorded in this cohort, the near-total failure rate suggests systemic issues that need urgent investigation before purchase.

With a median mileage of just under 24,000 miles for vehicles now a year old, these diesels are running average miles for their age, yet almost none are passing their MOT without defects. Before committing to one, get an independent pre-purchase inspection to understand whether these failures stem from a known manufacturing issue, dealer setup problem, or owner neglect—Audi's track record means it's worth escalating to the brand if you spot a pattern.

What to check before buying a 2023 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.
