2022 Audi Q2 Black Edition 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · EK22 CYY

The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 April 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that at the time of testing, the vehicle met all essential safety and environmental standards required by the DVSA. Given the vehicle's relatively recent age and the absence of any noted issues, the maintenance trend appears stable. The clean record suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older or more heavily used vehicles. The recorded mileage of 17,854 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents a significantly low annual usage rate of approximately 4,464 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies less mechanical stress on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushes, it can also be an indicator of infrequent use or extended periods of standing. This type of usage profile requires a different inspection approach, as the primary concerns shift from wear-related degradation to issues caused by inactivity, such as the drying out of seals or the chemical degradation of fluids that occur regardless of distance travelled. Since the MOT history is clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or a hardened tread surface, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Check the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, a common symptom in low-usage vehicles where components may seize due to lack of movement. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, which could indicate that rubber components or bushes have become brittle or have lost their integrity due to age. Finally, verify the electrical and fluid maintenance by reviewing the service history. Low-mileage vehicles are particularly susceptible to 12V battery degradation, so ensure the battery is healthy and the charging system is robust. Because many essential fluids, including brake fluid and engine coolant, are subject to time-based degradation, you must confirm that the service book shows evidence of scheduled maintenance based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Ensure that oil changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based recommendations to prevent moisture accumulation and internal engine contamination.
