2017 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · DY08 RAB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding brake component condition. While it passed the latest test in November 2025 at 55,289 miles, the tester flagged pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. This follows a recurring pattern seen in November 2024 and 2023, where front and rear discs were similarly noted for wear, suggesting the owner consistently delays replacing braking hardware until they reach significant surface degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year over its nine-year life. The record shows steady progression of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles between annual tests, moving from 24,849 miles in 2021 to 55,289 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage often leads to surface corrosion on uncleaned brake rotors and seized calipers, which aligns with the persistent pitting and scoring documented in the recent MOT advisories. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The repeated reports of pitting and scoring on the discs suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or is used for short trips where brakes never reach operating temperatures to clear surface rust. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding edge wear on the nearside rear tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which warrants a check of the control arms and bushings to ensure no further mechanical play is developing.
