I'm not sure why my Sabre is autopricing your itinerary as a DONE6 when it should just be a DONE5, but this is what I got. I assume you are buying this ticket from the UK and this is priced in GBP? When was the old ticket issued and when did you get the quote for the new ticket? As of now, the taxes and fees should add up to 1825.21GBP, slightly higher than the quote you got. Don't know if it's due to currency fluctuation or YR/YQ/tax rate change.
Lastly, I will be very surprised if AA is willing to book you on LHR-IST on AA as a standalone flight. The flight is "INTL ONLINE CONEX/STPVR TFC ONLY," but if AA issued it for you, go for it.

Mate thank you so much for this, my initial ticket was priced 9/03, and the one that I have LHR-DOH was the 15/03, my latest one was 21/04.
Indeed it is priced in GBP, however I'm not sure if PoS is Dallas or if it's London? I'm not sure there would be much difference anyway.
Agreed it is very odd that LHR-IST is AA standalone but it is ticketed and earns better Avios to QRPC anyway so I'll go with it. It's strange about the DONE6 pricing too. I wonder why?
In regards to your knowledge on fare + XT + YQ + YR I would say in this case I have definitely overpaid the ticket. My total amex debits to AA for this end up at £6263.41pp. Subtract the ~3778 fare, 1825.21 taxes you calculated, and 101 change fee I'm over by £558.8 per person.
Does this pass the sense check to you? If so, how do you think I should tackle this? Ask for total recalculation and reconcilation or is it worth going the complaint route as I've tried to sort this over 10s of phone calls
Thanks again
I appreciate it so much
Edit: I forgot to include DOH-LHR: QR0015 02/02/24 above so it's a stopover rather than a transit, do you think that could be the reason?
