2022 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · DA72 XGD

The most recent MOT test on 3 November 2025 confirmed this 2022 Audi Q2 S Line 30 TFSI as roadworthy at 8,770 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any failures or recurring issues in the single available test suggests the vehicle has passed its most recent inspection without mechanical or structural concerns. However, the test date is now 8 months out of date, placing the vehicle beyond the 12-month MOT validity window. This means the current roadworthiness status cannot be guaranteed until a new test is completed, as wear or faults could have developed since November 2025. The recorded mileage of 8,770 miles over approximately four years—roughly 2,192 miles per annum—indicates unusually low usage for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on critical components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain fluids, it also raises questions about the vehicle’s storage history. Extended periods of inactivity can accelerate deterioration in rubber seals, battery health, and fuel system integrity, particularly if the car was left untreated. The lack of intermediate MOT tests or service records means there is no data to confirm whether routine maintenance—such as fluid changes or corrosion protection—was consistently applied during this period. Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas that are not directly covered by the MOT but critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension components, particularly the condition of the front and rear coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to degradation even with low mileage if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. The brake system, including caliper binding, disc warping, and pad thickness, should be checked, as MOT tests only assess minimum tread depth and visible damage. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, as standing water or road salt exposure can compromise structural integrity over time. The battery and fuel system should also be assessed, as low mileage increases the risk of sulphation and fuel line hardening.
