2024 Audi RSQ3: known problems and what to check
Cars registered in 2024 haven’t had their first MOT yet (it’s due at 3 years old), so there are no MOT results to show. Here’s what we do know about the 2024 Audi RSQ3, and what to check before you buy one.
Known faults on the 2024 Audi RSQ3
Reported by owners, mechanics and buying guides for this model and age. Check which engine the car has, as some apply to one engine only.
- Some cars
Brake pedal rod recall
The bolted joint between the brake servo and pedal could work loose, with a risk of losing all normal braking.
At the viewing: Ask an Audi dealer to confirm the recall was done.
- Some cars
Seat frame and engine trim recalls
Recalls also covered front seat frames not bolted correctly to the rails and engine trim coming loose.
At the viewing: Ask for proof the recalls were done.
Questions to ask the seller before buying a 2024 Audi RSQ3
Ask before you travel to see it. A seller who knows the car will have answers, and receipts.
- Has the brake pedal rod recall been done?
- Can I see the service history and receipts for any big jobs?
What to check on a 2024 car
- Warranty left
Ask for the date it was first registered and check how much of the maker’s warranty is left, and that it transfers to you. Electric and hybrid batteries usually have a longer, separate warranty.
- Servicing
Servicing on time with the maker’s schedule keeps the warranty valid. Ask for the service book or the dealer’s digital record.
- Finance
Nearly new cars are often still on finance. A history check shows outstanding finance, and whether it has been written off or stolen.
- Recalls
Ask whether any recall work has been done, and check the reg on GOV.UK’s free recall checker.
- Logbook (V5C)
The name and address should match the seller, and the VIN on the V5C should match the car.
