2017 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · HG17 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The April 2025 test at 106,244 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness over the last several years. While the August 2023 test initially recorded a failure at 88,025 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor, rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,805 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 70,023 miles in July 2022 to 106,244 miles in April 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally reduces the risk of perished rubber components or seized calipers. Because the recent MOT history is devoid of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the recorded data suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained. However, given the current mileage has surpassed 100,000 miles, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items that MOT testers do not always scrutinise deeply. I recommend checking the condition of the drive belts, suspension arm bushings, and the integrity of the underside for any signs of corrosion that may have developed since the last test. A buyer should also verify the service history to complement these MOT results. While the MOT record confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, it does not account for fluid changes or timing belt intervals. Given the mileage, confirming that the cambelt and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer specifications remains a priority for long-term reliability.
