2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · X70 SBM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 51,799 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, but a prior test on 2025-06-16 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or unrecorded fault, though no specific mechanical problems were flagged. The trend from 2022 to 2025 shows stable roadworthiness, with all tests passing except the 2025 failure, which lacks diagnostic details. The absence of defects in later tests implies no critical issues, but the repeated same-mileage tests raise questions about the validity of the failure. The car’s low mileage of 51,799 over nine years equates to approximately 5,755 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 4,952-mile increase between 2022-06-21 (29,016 miles) and 2023-06-15 (33,968 miles), followed by a sharper 9,340-mile jump to 43,308 miles by 2024-06-13. These patterns may indicate irregular usage, increasing the risk of corrosion or mechanical stiffness in undercarriage components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for dry or cracked bushes, check brake discs for uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system for leaks or rust, as low mileage can mask hidden deterioration. Structural integrity should be verified, particularly around the chassis and body seams, to rule out corrosion. Despite the MOT records showing no defects, the 2025 failure and mileage anomalies warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural condition.
