2022 Audi Q2 Black Edition 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · FP71 OGK

Recurring brake component wear and recent tyre degradation define the mechanical profile of this Audi Q2, following a failure in January 2025. The vehicle's testing history shows a transition from a dangerous failure regarding rear brake pad thickness to a pass in January 2026, though the most recent test on 23 January 2026 introduced new advisories concerning front tyre wear on the edges. While the brake-related issues appear to have been addressed following the initial failure, the emergence of tyre wear advisories suggests a shift in consumable maintenance requirements. The vehicle has covered 47,829 miles over its approximately four-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 11,957 miles. This mileage is consistent with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of usage indicates that components such as the braking system, suspension bushes, and tyres are subject to standard wear and tear, which is reflected in the recorded advisories for brake discs and tyres. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive. Given the history of worn brake pads and discs across all four corners, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at various speeds, which can indicate disc thickness issues or warping. Additionally, listen for any squealing or grinding noises during low-speed manoeuvres that might suggest the previously flagged brake pad thickness issues have not been fully resolved or that new wear is occurring. The recent advisory regarding front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges warrants a specific inspection of the steering and suspension geometry. During a test drive, check for any pulling to one side or a wandering sensation through the steering wheel, as edge wear on tyres can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension components. Ensure that the tyre tread depth is checked across the entire width of the tyre to confirm if the wear is localised to the edges as recorded in the January 2026 test.
