2017 Audi Q2 2.0L Diesel · AF67 PHX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in brake component condition. The most recent test in September 2025 at 41,261 miles identified pitted and scored discs on both the front and rear axles, alongside thin rear pads. This represents a worsening progression from the September 2024 test at 38,140 miles, where only the rear pads were flagged. While the car has passed each inspection, the recurring degradation of braking hardware suggests a lack of proactive component replacement. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,585 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, moving from 22,726 miles in 2021 to 41,261 miles in late 2025. Such low annual mileage often correlates with reduced mechanical wear, but it also frequently leads to age-related rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces due to periods of inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to determine the extent of the corrosion on the discs. The repeated advisories for thin pads and pitted surfaces indicate that the vehicle has operated with components nearing their service limits for an extended period. Additionally, the history of perishing and cracking rear tyres, noted in 2022 and 2023, suggests the rubber may be suffering from dry rot despite having sufficient tread depth. Check the sidewalls for hairline fractures and ensure the low mileage has not masked seized calipers or perished bushings in the suspension assembly.
