2018 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · DE18 XJB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a specific mechanical failure occurred just days prior to that most recent test. At 64,619 miles, the vehicle failed the inspection due to a fractured offside front coil spring. This was promptly repaired as evidenced by the successful retest at 64,624 miles, indicating that the owner is responsive to urgent safety defects once they are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of roughly 8,500 miles between the January 2023 and January 2024 tests, and another 8,100-mile interval between January 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals and braking components that often suffer from seizing in low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension components given the recent failure of the coil spring. While the spring has been replaced, the impact of a broken spring often puts undue stress on adjacent suspension bushes and strut top mounts. Additionally, the 2022 advisory for thin rear brake pads at 39,330 miles indicates a history of wear-related maintenance. Since over 25,000 miles have passed since that advisory, the remaining thickness of the rear pads and discs should be verified to ensure they are not nearing another replacement cycle.
