2017 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · DC17 ABK

This 2017 Audi Q2 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, including the most recent pass on 10 April 2025 at 61,876 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and passed all mandatory roadworthiness checks without exception. However, the record does include a curious duplication of test dates in April 2022, where both a pass and a failure are logged at 35,948 miles—this may indicate an administrative error rather than mechanical issues, as no defects were noted in either entry. The latest test remains valid for just under 18 months, placing it within the acceptable window for a used-car purchase, though a pre-purchase inspection is still essential to verify components not covered by the MOT. The mileage progression of approximately 6,875 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable gap occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 10,474 miles in just over a year, suggesting active use during that period. There are no red flags in the pattern, but the lack of intermediate servicing records means buyers should confirm whether major services (e.g., timing belt, suspension refresh) were performed on schedule. The final 61,876 miles since the last MOT also exceed the 12-month threshold, so the tester would have evaluated wear items like tyres, brakes, and fluid levels—though this does not preclude further deterioration. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not always covered by the test. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or fluid leaks, as these are common points of failure in this model range. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in tests, may show uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle was driven hard during the 2022–2023 period. Structural integrity is another concern; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, as Audi Q2s are prone to rust in these areas despite their aluminium-intensive construction. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as catalytic converter failures can trigger emissions-related advisories even if the vehicle passes visually. The lack of recorded faults does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so a thorough mechanical examination is advised.
