2019 AUDI Q21.5L PETROL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test in March 2026 at 49,422 miles identified rear brake pads as wearing thin. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where mechanical wear components require regular attention, moving away from the clean-sheet records seen in its earlier years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 16,367 miles and the 2026 test at 49,422 miles, the car covered 33,055 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation to suggest the car has sat stationary for long periods, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the gradual degradation of rubber-based components rather than friction-related wear. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system specifically to ensure the thin pads have not scored or damaged the discs. The 2024 advisory at 31,544 miles regarding both nearside and offside rear tyres showing cracking or perishing suggests that the rubber may be age-related rather than tread depth. Verify the current condition of all four tyres for sidewall cracking, as low mileage often masks this. Given the lack of structural corrosion or fluid leak reports, the primary focus should remain on the state of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the tyre compounds.
