2020 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · AF62 ECF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the March 2026 test at 32,223 miles. This most recent result shows no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in mid-2024 have been addressed. The maintenance trend has moved from a period of reactive repairs to a consistent standard of upkeep, with the subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 showing no further issues. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,370 miles per year. The record shows a significant jump in mileage between July 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 6,000 miles, compared to the more gradual accumulation seen in the earlier years. While the overall mileage remains low for a six-year-old vehicle, the relatively infrequent testing intervals between 2023 and 2024 suggest the car may have spent periods stationary. The July 2024 failure at 24,507 miles highlights a specific period of neglected consumable maintenance. The tester flagged thin offside rear brake pads alongside pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear. A cut in the offside rear inner tyre reaching the cords also necessitated a failure. While these components appear to have been replaced or serviced to secure the July 2024 retest pass, a buyer should inspect the current condition of the rear brake discs for any signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, which can occur when vehicles are driven infrequently. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyre integrity to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive. Given the history of worn discs and pads, checking for any binding calipers or uneven pad wear would be prudent. Although no structural corrosion or suspension faults have appeared in the records, the low mileage and history of tyre damage suggest checking the sidewalls of all tyres for cuts or bulges that might have been missed during previous inspections.
