2020 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · EK20 BCF

The 2026-06-17 verdict is that the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a significant deterioration in maintenance standards. The most recent test on 2025-07-11 passed at 71,958 miles without defects, yet this single passing does not guarantee the vehicle will remain safe in future conditions. The 2024-07-04 test at 60,320 miles also passed, but the 2023-07-14 test at 50,137 miles failed, suggesting that while the vehicle may have been maintained in good condition recently, the gap between these tests represents a lack of consistent upkeep or a failure to address minor wear that could lead to failure. The mileage pattern indicates a clear trend of rapid accumulation, which is atypical for a vehicle of this age. The odometer reading of 71,958 miles was reached on 2025-07-11, and the vehicle was tested on 2024-07-04 at 60,320 miles. This 11,993-mile gap suggests that the owner likely did not maintain the vehicle at the same frequency as its age would require, or that the vehicle was parked for extended periods without any servicing. The 2023-07-14 test at 50,137 miles confirms that the vehicle was tested on a lower mileage baseline compared to the most recent test, implying that the accumulated wear from the previous year's tests has not been adequately addressed. For a buyer to assess the current roadworthiness, they must inspect the vehicle for recurring faults in suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The 2025-07-11 test at 71,958 miles revealed no defects, but the 2024-07-04 test at 60,320 miles showed no defects either, which is a critical finding. However, the 2023-07-14 test at 50,137 miles failed, revealing a binding rear brake, a binding caliper, and a binding suspension bush. This indicates that the vehicle has experienced a series of binding issues that have been flagged repeatedly, suggesting that the owner has likely been unable to maintain the vehicle properly or that the binding conditions have worsened over the past few years.
