AUDI Q22017 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 24, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently presents minor defects that are rectified immediately upon testing. The failure in the latest test was limited to an offside headlamp aim being too high, a simple adjustment issue rather than a mechanical or structural failure. This suggests the previous owners are responsive to safety-critical requirements once they are flagged by the DVSA. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,881 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 74,108 miles and the March 2025 test at 81,058 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles in that year. Another 7,868 miles were recorded prior to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used for regular transit, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing corrosion compared to long periods of standing. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the seat belt mechanisms, as the offside rear belt failed the test in March 2025. While this was rectified, checking the smooth retraction of all belts remains a prudent safety step. The addition of an under tray in March 2025 is a positive indicator, as it helps protect the exhaust and lower engine components from road debris and moisture. Since no advisories for suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or rust were recorded in the history, the focus should remain on standard wear items like tyre tread and brake pads as the vehicle approaches the 90,000-mile mark.
