2018 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · HX18 GGK

The 2018 Audi Q2 passed its most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 117,169 miles, but the maintenance trend is not entirely stable. The tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, with the offside also perishing and carrying a cut, though not deep enough to expose the ply or cords. This is the first advisory of its kind in the record, suggesting basic consumable upkeep may have slipped in the last year. Prior to that, the vehicle enjoyed three consecutive clean passes from August 2022 through August 2024, with only a minor rear fog lamp positioning fault recorded on 12 August 2024 at 103,336 miles, which was rectified the following day. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. Between 10 September 2022 at 76,682 miles and 18 August 2025 at 117,169 miles, the car covered 40,487 miles in under three years, averaging roughly 13,500 miles annually. That is well above the typical UK average and consistent with regular motorway or long-distance commuting use. The gap between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests shows 13,592 miles added in a single year, reinforcing the pattern of heavy, consistent driving rather than prolonged standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the front tyres and wheel alignment. Inner edge wear on both fronts, combined with perishing and a cut on the offside, points to possible misalignment, aggressive cornering, or underinflation over an extended period. The suspension bushes, track rod ends, and front dampers deserve a thorough inspection, as high-mileage use accelerates wear in these components. The brake discs and pads should also be checked, given the mileage and the likelihood of frequent high-speed braking typical of motorway driving. Beyond the tyres, the exhaust system and catalytic converter condition warrant attention at this mileage, as does any evidence of corrosion on the subframe, sills, or around the suspension mounting points. The rear fog lamp fault from August 2024 was minor and resolved, but a buyer should confirm all exterior lamps function correctly and that no aftermarket modifications have been fitted. Overall, the record shows a well-used vehicle that was largely well maintained through 2024, with the 2025 advisories indicating that routine tyre and alignment checks may have been overlooked more recently.
