2017 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · DP17 AYL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, consistently passing its annual inspections. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 113,736 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory for a defective nearside front wiper blade. This indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components are functioning within legal parameters, though the high mileage suggests the vehicle has undergone significant operational stress. The mileage pattern reflects high annual usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 80,436 miles and December 2024 at 102,713 miles, the car covered over 22,000 miles in just two years. This consistent accumulation is generally preferable to the degradation associated with long periods of standing, but it accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, suggesting the vehicle remained in active use between regular intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system due to the high mileage. The December 2023 test at 91,492 miles flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit with outer edge wear, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension components. A thorough check of the control arm arms and shock absorbers for play or leaks is essential, as these parts frequently fatigue at this mileage. While no brake defects were recorded, the thickness of the discs and pads should be manually verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
