2018 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · OS11 ARR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-06 at 89,878 miles recorded a PASS, but an identical FAILED entry on the same date and mileage raises ambiguity. No defects were noted in either outcome, suggesting potential administrative error or unresolved issues. Previous tests from 2025-03-25 (77,938 miles) and 2024-04-15 (72,981 miles) showed consistent PASS results with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record up to 2025. The abrupt shift to a FAILED result in 2026, without recorded faults, warrants scrutiny, though no immediate mechanical risks are evident from the data. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, rising from 72,981 miles in 2024 to 89,878 miles in 2026, a 16,897-mile increase over 15 months. This suggests moderate to heavy use in the final year, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions systems. The absence of defects in earlier tests implies routine upkeep, but the 2026 failure without specifics leaves uncertainty about underlying issues. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions about long-term trends. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system for uneven wear or binding calipers, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask gradual deterioration. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity, including rust on chassis or body seams, warrants scrutiny, as corrosion can develop unnoticed in high-mileage vehicles. The lack of recorded advisories or failures in prior tests does not eliminate risks, but it underscores the need for a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond MOT records.
