2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · WX17 NSN

The most recent MOT, carried out on 13 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards. With only a single MOT entry available, there is insufficient data to identify a trend, but the clean result suggests that the car has been maintained to a level that keeps it road‑worthy at the present moment. At nine years old the Audi Q2 has a recorded mileage of 12 710 miles, which works out to roughly 1 400 miles per annum – a markedly low utilisation rate. Such limited mileage often points to periods of infrequent use or prolonged stationary storage, which can be as detrimental as high mileage in terms of component ageing. While the drivetrain and engine have likely experienced relatively little wear, components that suffer from calendar ageing – rubber seals, hoses, bushings and battery plates – may have deteriorated despite the low mileage. Given the vehicle’s age and low‑usage profile, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or delamination and confirm that the tread depth is adequate; tyres older than six years should be considered for replacement regardless of wear. Inspect the 12 V battery for sulphation, low cranking voltage and any signs of leakage, as prolonged sitting can reduce capacity. Check the brake discs for surface rust, pitting or uneven wear and verify that the pads are not glazed; the calipers should move freely without binding. Look under the vehicle for corrosion on the chassis, suspension arms and exhaust system, especially if the car has been stored outdoors. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – are filled to the correct level, clear, and free of contaminants; if the service book does not show recent changes, a full fluid replacement is advisable. During a test drive listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, which could indicate dried‑out bushings or worn coil springs. Observe the steering for play or a vague feel, and watch for any pull to one side that might suggest tyre or alignment issues. Apply the brakes firmly and note any shudder, pulsation or delayed response that could reveal warped discs or uneven pad wear. Finally, have a qualified MOT‑approved mechanic perform a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection to confirm that all safety‑critical items are within specification and to identify any latent faults that may not be evident in a brief road test.
