2019 Audi Q3 MOT pass rate and common faults
MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.
13,968 Audi Q3 cars first used in 2019 had an MOT in 2025, at about 6 years old, and 90.8% passed first time. That is above the 83.5% for all cars first used in 2019.
The year is when the car was first used, as on its V5C log book, not the model year.

Typical mileage
Recorded mileage at the MOT. A car well above this range has done more work than most; one far below is worth a closer look at its MOT history.

|---|---|---|---|
| 13,968 | 33,200 | 43,600 miles | 55,500 |
