2020 Audi Q2 Technik 30 Tfsi 1.0L Petrol · GV69 JVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 confirming a pass at 68,409 miles. The maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of wear across critical components, particularly in the braking system and suspension, indicating that servicing has been reactive rather than preventive. While no major failures were recorded in the latest test, the nearside front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint exhibited slight play—though not severe enough to fail—suggesting ongoing degradation in suspension integrity. This marks a continuation of earlier issues, including progressively worn brake pads and tyres, which collectively point to a maintenance history focused on keeping the car operational rather than proactively addressing wear. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with average annual usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests was roughly 9,140 miles over 11 months, followed by 12,200 miles in the next 12 months (2024–2025), and then 11,670 miles in the final year (2025–2026). These figures reflect steady use without prolonged inactivity, ruling out long-term storage as a factor in component wear. The absence of any failed tests or structural advisories over this period suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly and maintained to a basic standard, though not necessarily to a high one. A buyer should conduct an in-person inspection of the front suspension, focusing on the anti-roll bar linkages and associated bushes, as the slight play noted in January 2026 may worsen under load or with continued use. The repeated warnings about brake pad wear—front pads down to two-thirds thickness in 2024, rear pads similarly thin in 2023—indicate that both front and rear brakes are nearing replacement limits, especially given the current mileage. Tyre condition remains a concern, with edge wear close to legal limits documented in 2025; these should be checked for uneven wear patterns and tread depth. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion, as the age and mileage suggest potential fatigue in welds or supports, and verify that the brake discs show no scoring or warping from extended use of thin pads.
