2021 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · HL21 ABF

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 7 May 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend indicates a recurring issue with tyre condition. The tester issued an advisory for a nearside rear tyre showing signs of damage, cracking, or perishing. This follows a failure on 24 July 2025, where the vehicle failed on two major defects: a cut in the offside rear tyre and a cut in the nearside front tyre reaching the ply or cords. While the 2025 failure was rectified to achieve a pass, the appearance of perishing in the 2026 test suggests a continued pattern of tyre degradation. The recorded mileage of 24,521 miles is relatively low for a 2021 model, averaging approximately 4,904 miles per year. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing with no significant gaps in the record. The 2024 test on 30 July recorded no defects, and the 2025 test on 24 July also initially showed no defects before the tyre-related failures were identified. The low annual mileage may contribute to the tyre perishing noted in the 2026 advisory, as tyres can degrade through age and lack of movement even when tread depth remains sufficient. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres to check for sidewall cracking, perishing, or cuts that could lead to a failure. Given the advisory on the nearside rear tyre in May 2026, the age and condition of the rubber should be prioritised over tread depth. Beyond the tyres, the previous clean records in 2024 and 2025 suggest no immediate history of failures regarding suspension, braking systems, or structural integrity, but the recent advisory warrants a close look at the wheel arches and tyre sidewalls for further signs of environmental degradation. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
