AUDI Q22017 · 2.0L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with the rear braking system. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 63,505 miles passed, it again flagged advisories for both rear brake discs being pitted and scored. This condition is a recurring fault dating back to the 2023 and 2022 records, indicating that the owner has opted to leave worn components in rather than replacing them once they reached the advisory stage. At 63,505 miles over nine years, the Audi has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing with intervals of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles between tests. This steady mileage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, yet the lack of brake component replacement suggests the low mileage may have led to surface corrosion on the iron discs, or that preventative maintenance is reactive rather than proactive between MOT inspections. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the pitting has not progressed to structural thinning. The previous failure in June 2022 for a seriously weakened offside front inner disc indicates that the vehicle is prone to component-related failures or localized corrosion. You should also check for signs of uneven pad wear or sticking calipers, as the recurring advisories for scored discs often suggest the brakes may not be fully retracting properly. Given the history, a full sweep of the remaining brake pads and discs is necessary before purchase to ensure immediate expenditure is not required.
