2022 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · EA72 AHU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of inconsistent upkeep. While it passed the most recent test on 30 June 2026 at 89,112 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to an inoperative engine management indicator light. This indicates a significant electronic fault or sensor issue was addressed just before the passing result. Despite the recent pass, the history suggests a reactive maintenance approach where faults are only rectified when they during testing. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. A critical surge in usage occurred between June 2025 at 35,179 miles and June 2026 at 89,112 miles, covering over 53,000 miles in just twelve months. This intensity suggests heavy motorway use or commercial application, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to average-use examples. A buyer must scrutinize the condition of the wheels and suspension geometry. The June 2025 failure at 35,175 miles flagged multiple missing road wheel fixings and an inner tyre worn to the limit. These issues often point to poor wheel alignment or neglected hardware, which can cause premature tyre degradation. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection for uneven tread wear on all tyres and play in the control arms is essential. The recent failure regarding the engine management light also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine control unit.
