2018 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · BJ68 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT from 19 January 2026 at 48,530 miles indicates a shift toward neglected consumable maintenance. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. The same inspection noted thin front brake pads. This represents a departure from the cleaner records seen in previous years, suggesting that routine replacement of wear items has been deferred. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-to-average usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 6,066 miles per year, moving from 15,787 miles in November 2021 to the current 48,530 miles in January 2026. The data shows a steady, predictable increase in distance traveled each year without any significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity. This regular usage generally supports the longevity of mechanical components, though the recent advisories suggest the current owner is not keeping pace with necessary servicing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle assembly. The January 2025 test at 37,702 miles identified light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. Although this was a minor advisory at the time, the recent tyre wear on the edges could indicate developing suspension geometry issues or worn bushes that are causing uneven tyre degradation. Given the thin brake pads flagged in the latest test, a thorough check of the front braking system, including disc thickness and caliper condition, is necessary to ensure no binding or excessive wear is present.
