2022 Audi Q2 S Line 35 Tfsi S-A 1.5L Petrol · GU72 YDJ

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 13 October 2025 recorded a full pass with no defects noted, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of any recorded failures or advisories suggests a stable maintenance record up to that point, though the lack of earlier data means no trend can be identified beyond this isolated result. At four years old the Audi Q2 has accumulated just 3,141 miles, equating to an average of roughly 785 miles per annum. Such a low annual usage rate is well below the typical UK average and usually points to either very light, occasional driving or prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage reduces wear on wear‑items such as brake pads, clutch plates and engine bearings, it also raises the possibility that components have aged without the benefit of regular operation, which can lead to rubber hardening, seal drying and battery depletion. Given the vehicle’s age and limited mileage, a prospective buyer should give particular attention to items that deteriorate with time rather than distance. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking, dry rot or age‑related perishing, and verify the tread depth and DOT date code to ensure the tyres have not exceeded their recommended service life. Examine the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion and test its cranking voltage, as prolonged storage can cause sulphation and reduced capacity. Under the bonnet, check that the engine oil appears clean and at the correct level, and confirm that the coolant and brake fluid have been replaced within the last two years, as fluids degrade with age even when the car is not driven extensively. A visual inspection of the under‑body for any signs of rust, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, is advisable, as standing vehicles can develop corrosion that is not evident in a MOT pass. Finally, request a full service history to confirm that routine oil changes, filter replacements and scheduled inspections have been performed in line with Audi’s recommended intervals. Verify that the brake discs are free of excessive surface rust and that the calipers move smoothly without binding, as discs can develop a thin layer of corrosion when a car sits idle for long periods. Listen for any unusual noises on a short test drive – clunking from worn suspension bushes, shuddering under braking, or a whine from the power‑steering pump – and ensure all electronic warning lights illuminate briefly before going out, confirming that the vehicle’s diagnostic systems are functional. Addressing these time‑related checks will give a clearer picture of the car’s true roadworthiness beyond the clean MOT record.
