2022 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · FL22 NWV

This 2022 Audi Q2 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, both passing on 2025-06-06 and 2025-03-27. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not rigorous, servicing within the standard UK maintenance intervals. However, the most recent MOT was conducted just over a year ago, placing it at the upper limit of the 12-month validity period. While this does not inherently indicate poor roadworthiness, it does mean the vehicle has not undergone a full inspection since mid-2025, leaving a gap of approximately 14 months before the next mandatory test. The lack of recurring issues in the record implies no obvious pattern of neglect, but the extended period since the last inspection introduces an element of uncertainty regarding wear items like brake pads, suspension bushes, and tyre condition. The recorded mileage of 16,962 miles at the time of the most recent MOT—combined with the vehicle’s age of just under four years—indicates an exceptionally low annual average of around 4,240 miles. This suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can have mixed implications. Low mileage typically correlates with reduced wear on high-mileage components such as engine internals, transmission fluid, and drivetrain synchronisers. However, it may also imply deferred maintenance, particularly for items like suspension bushes, which can degrade even when a vehicle is stationary due to environmental exposure. The absence of mileage jumps between tests—with only 863 miles accumulated between the March and June 2025 tests—further reinforces the pattern of minimal usage, though it does not provide insight into whether the vehicle has been stored improperly or driven inconsistently. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of wear-and-tear items that are not directly covered by the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to degradation even at low mileages if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven sporadically, as moisture and lack of use can accelerate corrosion. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as the absence of MOT failures in this area does not guarantee they have been maintained—failing twice on tread in a prior test would have been a red flag, but here the record remains silent. Finally, inspect for any signs of corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as prolonged standing can exacerbate rust development in susceptible areas. The lack of advisories in the MOT history does not preclude these issues, so a visual and functional assessment remains essential.
