2019 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · AB59 ACB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 passed, the inspector noted that both front and rear brake discs are showing wear. Although this does not constitute an immediate failure, it indicates that the braking system is approaching the end of its service life and will require attention in the near future to maintain optimal performance. At 56,907 miles, the car has averaged approximately 8,130 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. The accumulation is steady, with a notable gap of roughly 8,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,500 miles since last year. This consistent use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which can help prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension, as the 2025 test flagged a light misting leak on the nearside front shock absorber. This is a precursor to total component failure and should be monitored. Furthermore, the report of perishing and cracking across all four tyres in 2025 suggests that the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or used aged rubber compounds, which should be checked for sidewall integrity irrespective of the remaining tread depth. Specific attention should also be paid to the cooling system, given the 2023 advisory regarding the coolant level being at the minimum. While not a recurring fault, it indicates a potential slow leak or a lack of fluid top-ups. Given the current wear on the brake discs, a prospective owner should also budget for a full brake overhaul involving discs and pads to ensure the vehicle remains safe and reliable.
