2019 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · SV 6467

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to emerging component wear issues. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 31,855 miles, the tester flagged all four brake discs as being pitted or scored. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking system is suffering from surface corrosion, likely due to the vehicle's low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 4,550 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the data from the 2022 test at 12,575 miles, which recorded no defects. However, the infrequent use often correlates with the issues seen later. The 2024 test at 25,747 miles noted perishing and cracking on the rear tyres, a common symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods without generating heat through regular driving. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber, which showed light oil misting at 19,819 miles in 2023, to ensure this has not developed a functional leak. The pitting on all brake discs noted in 2025 requires a close look, as surface corrosion can accelerate pad wear and affect braking efficiency. Additionally, check the sidewalls of all tyres for further dry rotting, as the 2024 advisory suggests the rubber compound is aging faster than the tread depth indicates.
