2018 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · GD18 EWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 108,339 miles flagged both a thin offside rear tyre and thinning rear brake pads. This follows a pattern seen in May 2023 where low brake pads were also noted, indicating that components are only being addressed once they approach failure limits rather than during scheduled servicing. The car has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between May 2023 and November 2025, where the vehicle clocked over 29,000 miles in just twenty months. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension geometry. While the November 2024 test at 99,554 miles showed no defects, the subsequent frequency of high-mileage driving correlates directly with the appearance of consumable wear-and-tear issues. A buyer must inspect the suspension and alignment personally, as the recurring reports of edge wear on tyres in February 2024 and November 2025 suggest potential issues with worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings. The braking system requires a thorough check for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers, as the record consistently flags thinning rear components. Given the over-100,000-mile status, the mechanical integrity should also be verified for leaks or excessive play to ensure the high-frequency usage pattern has not led to underlying degradation.
